雖然英國人民不支持英國繼續在伊拉克駐軍，但是，英國仍然是美國在伊拉克的最親密的盟友。目前英國在伊拉克南部駐扎了大約4千名軍隊，不過英國計劃在今年晚些時候把駐軍人數減少到2千500人左右。英國在過去的兩年里減少了在伊拉克的駐軍人數，與此同時，英國增加了在阿富汗的軍事力量。

McCain also expressed appreciation for Mr. Brown's leadership in tackling climate change. He said he is committed to address the issue of climate change comprehensively and globally but insisted China and India must be part of a global agreement on the issue.

麥凱恩還表達了他對英國首相布朗領導處理氣候變化問題的謝意。他說，他致力于全面地、全球性地解決氣候變化問題，不過，他堅持中國和印度必須參與有關氣候變化問題的全球化協議。

"I want to make [it] clear again, we will not have a global agreement that is effective unless India and China are part of it," he added. "I think that there will be sufficient International pressures and domestic pressures as well as the facts of the environmental challenges that will bring them into a global agreement."

麥凱恩說：“我想再次把這個問題說清楚，除非印度和中國參與進來，否則我們將不會達成一項有效的全球化協議。我認為，國際壓力和國內壓力以及環境挑戰的現實情況足以使印度和中國加入到全球性協議中來。”

Before his stop in London McCain, who is a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, visited Iraq, Jordan and Israel. From London he is expected to go to Paris to meet with French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

作為美國國會參議院軍事委員會的資深成員，麥凱恩在訪問英國倫敦前還訪問了伊拉克、約旦和以色列。預計，他還將從倫敦啟程到巴黎，與法國總統薩爾科齊會晤。
