Washington, DC - Vice President Mike Pence met with Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson of the United Kingdom.

The Vice President emphasized the importance of ensuring that Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon, and that North Korea commits to verifiable denuclearization. Both welcomed the President’s upcoming visit to the United Kingdom in July and agreed to continue to work together to address geopolitical challenges.
