For Immediate Release: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 Contact: Obama for America Press (312) 985-1198 Statement from Vice President Biden on the Start of Governor Romneys Foreign Trip CHICAGO Vice President Joe Biden released the following statement today in reaction to the start of Governor Romneys foreign trip: Despite his promises that politics stops at the waters edge, Governor Romneys wheels hadnt even touched down in London before his advisors were reportedly playing politics with international diplomacy, attempting to create daylight between the United States and the United Kingdom where none exists. Our special relationship with the British is stronger than ever and we are proud to work hand-in-hand with Prime Minister Cameron to confront every major national security challenge we face today. On every major issue -- from Afghanistan to missile defense, from the fight against international terrorism to our success in isolating countries like Iran whose nuclear programs threaten peace and stability -- weve never been more in sync. The comments reported this morning are a disturbing start to a trip designed to demonstrate Governor Romneys readiness to represent the United States on the worlds stage. Not surprisingly, this is just another feeble attempt by the Romney campaign to score political points at the expense of this critical partnership. This assertion is beneath a presidential campaign. ###
