In 1983 President Reagan apologised to the British prime minister after the US invaded Grenada – a Commonwealth country – without giving her advance warning. This newly released tape recording of a private telephone call between them reveals the conversation.

I was never alive to see Margaret Thatcher at work, but oh how I wish she was here today to put the world in its place
This is edited like a scene from plumbers don't wear ties
Jeromy Maurice Green Quinn is not my Guardian uhuh bell peppers
Reagan was the best. RIP, sir.

How can he “supposedly” be at a golfing vacation? Was he there or not?
Always ask for forgiveness, never permission. 🤣
bad people with excellent manners and etiquette
That's a real President.
Two dictators, sittin’ in a tree…
Most Americans voted for Reagan because he is such a nice buddy, not because of his politics and stands. They just liked him.
Thatchers very English comment about there being a bit of work to do for America betrays a slight annoyance. She's keen to get off the phone and for Reagan to get back to cleaning up the mess he made.
The two greatest enemies of the working class, and really all of humanity and its potential.
Whelp, this phone call isn't "private" anymore! 😀
in a time where it is possible to create deepfake videos and use voice morphing software and all that, how will you prove to me that this is authentic, legit, real?
This feels AI generated
Odd, I pressumed they'd be speaking in demonic tongues
I want a phone call about Thatcher and Reagan talking about Hong Kong🙂
ghoul-to-gremlin communication
Y Thatcher tuvo razón, de otro modo no se podría escuchar esta conversación en YouTube 😜
Unbelievable exchanges,the two who made a history for the economic prosperity in their countries
He forded her
Compared to politicians today … 🙁
That’s class!
Goodbye 😐✌️
Fact she asked about Nancy despite the circumstances shows how much she respected Ron. Respect to the both
US: Invades Grenada
Thatcher: How's Nancy?
Thats the special relationship
Reagan and Thatcher, the two architects of the largest divide in equality between the rich and poor in the last century. Truly woeful people.
Im sorry i cant remember your name
You guys messed up the captions at multiple points, maybe because you were too busy playing animator with the visuals. That's to be expected of an establishment like The Guardian, though.
Well that special private telephone worked well
Appropriate and charming. Now imagine Trump in Reagan’s stead.
two lousy leaders.
It’s like stepping right back into my 1980’s boyhood :).
Sicko to sicko communication
This feels like an A.I story
1:21 “I won’t speak very long with you even on the secret telephone, even that can be broken”
Reagan knowing this whole thing is being recorded: “uh… yes…”
So she rolled over
Reagan might be one of the most interesting presidents USA had.
Both xenephobic and racist leaders the world is better off without.
Regan sounded a little surprised when Thatcher ended the conversation lol, probably not used to that
Two of the finest leaders of the 20th century. I get goosebumps whenever I listen to this call. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Reagan was probably the only World Leader who Thatcher respected enough to receive a call like this & leave it at that. Anyone else would have received a tongue-lashing & proverbial handbag slap. This wouldn't be the only time Reagan stepped on her toes. It was clear that bigger world events were swinging in the periphery & she would need the support of the US President if things went "wobbly".
My dad was 5 years old and vividly remembers living in Puerto Rico and going to the military base at the time and seeing all the soldiers leaving for Grenada.
Two Icons
I'll pass… You're right , Ragon Hatfield .
