Rishi Sunak insists he did not keep green card to move back to US

Prime minister says he only held on to his US residency until 2021 because he did not get around to returning it

Rishi Sunak has insisted he does not want to move to the US and that he only kept his green card for years because returning it was “not something I got round to”.

The prime minister said he had “acted in accordance with all the rules” when in possession of a US green card, which he only gave up in 2021 while he was chancellor.
