Trump policies should push Britain to reduce its ties to US, say peers
From The Guardian:
Britain must downgrade its bedrock reliance on the US and recognise that the Trump administration is seeking to undermine British efforts to tackle the most critical challenges facing the world, a committee of peers has said.
The Lords international relations committee said the Trump administrations actions on issues including the Paris climate change deal, the Iran nuclear accord and steel tariffs had been contrary to the interests of the UK.
After taking evidence over the past year from some of the countrys most senior diplomats, national security experts and foreign policy specialists, the committee says the UK needs to develop alliances elsewhere around the globe, including within Europe, to maintain reformed multilateral institutions. If it does not it will risk a form of global anarchy gripping the world in fields such as trade, in turn leading to worse things as was the hideous story of the 1930s.
