No …
That’s possibly not the best thing to start with.
I think …
I’m very aware that Britain’s Prime Minister — Theresa May — is due to meet US President, Donald Trump.
I’m …
Concerned.
I voted remain, in the Brexit referendum: feeling Britain’s place in the world was improved by having close ties with Europe.
And by keeping a certain arm’s — with apologies to US born, regular Debbi — a certain arm’s length from US policy.
Things like the Iraq War? Were done in George’s Bush’s name, not mine.
So seeing that meeting is happening?
And, like Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, before him, that we have a US president enamoured of a UK leader, but who will put US national interests above those of the UK’s … ?
Is worrying.
There’s an argument that says our membership of the EU meant handing over two much control to foreign powers.
I feel a close relationship between May and Trump?
Represents a similar issue: we’d be handing to much control to a US government.
And is unhealthy for the UK.
