President-elect Joe Biden briefly waits in his car as he arrives in Downing Street on February 5, 2013 in London, England.A foreign policy advisor to President-elect Joe Biden gave a frank assessment of the US-UK relationship.
He said "the relationship between the US and UK will be fine. I'm just not sure if it's going to matter that much." He said that Britain's 2016 decision to leave the European Union was "an act of self-isolation," and that when he worked for President Obama, "Brexit started to be priced into the relationship with the UK, which began to take a hit.
Kupchan said he was "quite worried" that the US relationship with the US might diminish in the future, telling Times Radio that France had overtaken the UK as the the port of call for the US when it comes to issues of foreign policy.
We pulled back from the world for four years when our Electoral College elected Trump, but now we're back. The UK has elected Tory governments for a full decade, now, with no end in sight and then did Brexit on top of that. I don't get it. The UK looks so small and insular, now.
Somebody better tell the Tories
lvandenassum The essence of the 'special relationship' has for some time been in the field of defence and especially intelligence cooperation. Attached is what (they say) I said over 40 years ago.
Kwenergymmnt My man 👏👏👏
UK does not need a Biden USA, UK has the rest of the world to trade with.
The British media, the conservative party and its talking head sycophants need to consider the fact that to the outside world the UK looks isolated, backwards and intolerant not a place that offers much relevancy.
You’ve got to smile, eh?
President Biden has a knowledgeable team advising him. Not sure if Trump had such a team and if he did then either they were self sabotaging or he didn’t follow their advice. Two totally different individuals so now America can get back to being who We Are💙
TheAeronut Bear in mind the following: EU/EFTA market of 500M is more significant The Euro is the primary European trading currency EU offers stable politics/trading environment Many of the people learn English in Primary School Many in America speak Hispanic & other European languages
TheAeronut Yeah, just wait until they want to invade another country but don't want to do it alone as that looks worse.
AdamBienkov i don't know what Brexiters expected
I think Ireland will take over that special relationship. After Brexit Ireland will be the doorstep to EU for US.
Business always finds a way, it`s the way it is!
Media called it for Biden because 6 companies own almost ALL the media in America!...They've got you by the balls!
The globalist oligarchy is the projected winner of the US election.
It never mattered anyway.
ReclaimTRUST Biden should break US UK relations until this racism, and that of the entire Tory party is addressed
I doubt Boris or Biden will be the leaders in 2021 anyway 😉
Over 70m of their own citizens wont matter so much to that globalist elite....so dont expect loyalty elsewhere....

More good news please(((
Is it possible that,because of this,the Brexit could step back ?
This man doesn't know already XI Jinping and Vladmir Putin are rating him as a easy pawn. They r quiet just bcoz there might be the proverbial slip between the cup and the lip until official announcement.
And it begins. Britain chooses a path of self dtermination outside of a unified world plan and now Joe says We dont have a relationship. This is Leftist intolerance at its best. A motto of your not with us if you dont do what We say.
Thanks but no thanks, Johnsons.
Chinas special relationship in the focus now!
