MT: MT speech to the Economic Club of New York (press release) [plus seventh draft] ​​​​​​​[released Dec 2018]

Document type: Declassified documents
Source: PREM19/4408 f110
Editorial comments:

A press release of the text was previously published on this site: it can be read here. That text differs in some respects from this copy, which seems to have been faxed to No.10 from MT's hotel in New York and which may therefore be closer to the text as delivered. From p17 onwards there is the "seventh (and final from GCS) draft". How this came into the hands of No.10 is not revealed in the file. Read other documents selected from this file. The full file from which this item is taken can be seen here - PREM19-4408.
