The New Atlantic Charter is an agreement that was signed by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson and the President of the United States Joe Biden on 10 June 2021. The agreement was signed at the first face-to-face meeting between Johnson and Biden at the 2021 G7 Summit in Cornwall, England.

The agreement is a new version of the Atlantic Charter, signed by Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941. The meeting at which the agreement was signed was used to redefine the Western alliance.[1]

Background

The original Atlantic Charter is an agreement that was signed by Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941.

The new agreement was signed at the 2021 G7 summit in Cornwall at the first face-to-face meeting between Joe Biden and Boris Johnson since Joe Biden took office. Joe Biden "affirmed the special relationship between our people and renewed our commitment to defending the enduring democratic values that both our nations share".[2]
