Biden no lover of UK’s ‘Trump clone’ Johnson
London, Oct 26 (AFP/APP):The political bromance between Boris Johnson and Donald Trump leaves Britain and its transatlantic “special relationship” exposed if Joe Biden wins next week, just as the country needs all the friends it can get.
The UK is divorcing the European Union and looking to revitalize partnerships elsewhere, but has managed to antagonize Trump’s Democratic opponent over its Brexit plans for Northern Ireland.
French President Emmanuel Macron has at times also strived to keep Trump close. But the British prime minister is more closely associated with his fellow convention-shredding populist in Washington.
“There is a lot of frantic repositioning going on at the moment here in London by this administration in Britain,” former Conservative finance minister George Osborne told CNN on Sunday.
“But I don’t think Joe Biden will feel particularly warmly toward this British government, and they’re going to have to work very hard to change that,” he said.
