                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 17, 2019

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, as co-chair of the 
United Kingdom (UK) Caucus, I am grateful to extend my warmest 
congratulations to Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the Conservative 
Party for winning a resounding mandate from the British people to get 
Brexit done.
  I have complete confidence that Prime Minister Johnson will finally 
implement the will of the British people to leave the European Union in 
a manner that best serves the interests of the UK. I look forward to 
continuing to work closely to deepen our bilateral ties with the UK, 
especially as it relates to a potential free trade agreement after 
Brexit is done.
  I am confident the close relationship with President Donald Trump and 
the Prime Minister will expedite our trade for mutually beneficial job 
creation.
  In conclusion, God Bless our Troops, and we will never forget 
September 11th in the Global War on Terrorism.
