Johnson: US democracy strong after Trump impeachment 'kerfuffle'

Boris Johnson has insisted US democracy remains "strong", despite the "kerfuffle" over former President Donald Trump's impeachment trial.

The Senate acquitted Mr Trump of incitement to insurrection following the storming of Congress on 6 January.

Mr Johnson told US broadcaster CBS his relationship with new President Joe Biden was "excellent".

And he promised the American and UK governments would work well together on issues like climate change and defence.

Mr Biden, who was inaugurated on 20 January, has never met the prime minister in person, but this is set to change later this year, with the UK hosting the G7 summit in the summer and the COP26 climate change gathering in the autumn.
