UK and US

[Sriram]

Hi everyone,

Something about the declining warmth between the US and UK.

President Biden has a long track record of knifing Britain in the back. He mercilessly sank a major trade deal between the United States and the United Kingdom, insultingly refused to attend the Coronation of King Charles III, and helped torpedo the candidacy of British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace to succeed Jens Stoltenberg as Nato secretary general.

And as the Telegraph reports, Biden is now backing European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to be the next head of the Nato alliance. In doing so, Biden is putting up two fingers to America’s closest friend and ally Great Britain, while kowtowing to the EU

There's been a declining warmth between me and the UK since the Tory party started to fuck it all up.

Before posting nonsense please check it first Sririam.

US presidents never attend coronations.

As to the trade deal it was long known that a Democratic presidency would not be giving us any special treatment regarding trade deals after we left the EU. Obama made this emphatically clear when he ws in office. Yet one more thing to thank Brexiteers for.

Why shouldn't Biden back von der Leyen? She has experience of leading a large trading bloc while Great Britain edges ever closer to Little Britain.

A highly partisan article that really doesn't take into account established protocols and politico-economic reality.

According to the Telegraph Biden 'declined to back' Wallace after the UK began training Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets without White House permission. Judged on actions rather than just some supposed anti UK feeling.
