I want to continue cooperating closely with the British government, as well as our partners and allies in the world, in many important priorities, the White House owner added.

US President Joe Biden (right) shook hands with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson at the NATO summit in Madrid, Spain, June 30.

The reason is that Washington needs a firm leader, while Johnson is constantly scandal.

Prime Minister Johnson on July 7 announced his resignation after facing a series of scandals and criticisms for the party in the middle of the blockade of Covid-19 to 2020. He said he would continue to be a temporary Prime Minister.

After Prime Minister Boris Johnson resigned, the Conservative Party will start the process of electing his successor without organizing the general election.

The Conservative Party is currently the ruling party in the UK, so the election of the new Prime Minister replaces Mr. Boris Johnson is actually elected a new leader for the Conservative Party.
