West Suffolk's MP has praised the "deep links" between the UK and US during a visit to RAF Mildenhall.
Nick Timothy met with senior US Air Force personnel and was given a tour of the base by its RAF commander, Squadron Leader Owen Crossby.
The visit included discussions about the base’s operations as well as community issues affecting residents and those stationed at RAF Mildenhall and nearby RAF Lakenheath.
Mr Timothy said: "Those stationed at RAF Mildenhall and RAF Lakenheath are important members of the West Suffolk community.
"Residents welcome and pay tribute to their pivotal commitment to the defence of the West.
"The bases also embody and strengthen the deep links between our two countries.
"I want to thank those at the base for their warm welcome.
"We had a constructive discussion about important issues.
"I am keen to build on this strong partnership and was fascinated to hear about their work, and about the array of voluntary activities base personnel have taken part in over the past year."
