Today,
Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism
Lisa Monaco concluded a series of meetings with Home Secretary Theresa
May, Deputy National
Security Advisor Paddy McGuinness, and other senior British security
and intelligence officials on a range of security and counterterrorism
issues, focused on our shared efforts to prevent and disrupt
ISIL-directed and inspired attacks in the West. Noting
that the United Kingdom is one of our strongest counterterrorism
partners, Ms. Monaco discussed a number of ways we can continue to
enhance our whole-of-government efforts to protect our nations from ISIL
and other threats, including intensifying intelligence
cooperation and information sharing with our European partners, working
together to strengthen European counterterrorism capabilities, and
enhancing our engagement with private sector partners to counter ISIL’s
destructive propaganda.
While
in London, Ms. Monaco also co-led a session on “Counterterrorism in the
Age of ISIL” at the Aspen Security Forum: Global with Deputy National
Security Advisor McGuinness.
