On Thursday, The White House responded to the news of the UK's Prime Minister Liz Truss resignation as Prime Minister.
The US asserted that it will continue its close relationship with the UK.
The White House also announced that President Joe Biden will issue a statement later on today.
"Our country's always had a special relationship with the United Kingdom without regard to the partisan affiliation of our president or the politics of their prime minister,"
White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain said.
"That's going to continue no matter who the UK picks as their next prime minister," Klain added.
Liz Truss will go down as the UK Prime Minister with the shortest time in office — 45 days when she announced her resignation today, plus a week or so until a new leader is chosen.
The ruling Conservative Party will elect its new leader within the next week, until which time she will remain the PM, she said. Counting that too, Liz Truss, who'd succeeded Boris Johnson, would remain much behind the earlier shortest tenure — 119 days served by George Canning in 1827, his tenure cut short by death.
Brought down by her inability to cut taxes amid a price-rise, Liz Truss was in office for a shorter duration than the time it took for her election as the party leader.
