Obama reaffirms relationship between countries
Rounding off his state visit to Britain, the president rejected the argument that the rise of new economic powers such as China had sidelined Europe and America, insisting that “the time for our leadership is now”.
At a “pivotal moment” in history, with demands for democracy across the Arab world and an international coalition fighting oppression in Libya, Britain and the US remained “indispensable to the goal of a century which is more peaceful, more prosperous and more just”, Obama said.
