New Atlantic Charter

The agreement is a new version of the Atlantic Charter, declared by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and American President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941.

[1] The original Atlantic Charter is an agreement that was issued by Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt in August 1941.

It was a declaration of a Western commitment to democracy and territorial integrity, months before the US entered World War II.

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] The New Atlantic Charter also reaffirmed "the commitments and aspirations set out eighty years ago," while also addressing the "new challenges" of the 21st century.
