What effects will the US presidential election have on England?
In an article, a western media investigated the effects of the American elections and the possible coming of Trump to British politics, especially considering the upcoming parliamentary elections in this country. |
According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency, newspaper ” In an article, Handelsblatt discussed the effects of the US presidential election on England and the country’s situation and wrote: When Donald Trump moved to the White House in 2017, he put the bust of Winston Churchill back in his office.
British conservatives have not forgotten about this action of this republican until today. So it’s really no surprise that former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is now predicting: The West is likely to become stronger and the world more stable under Trump.
More This article says: After Trump’s victories in the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries, political London is preparing for the return of the Republicans. Anand Menon, a professor of European politics and international relations at King’s College London, says: This is the most likely scenario at the moment. Therefore, British politics should prepare for it.
Furthermore, the upcoming UK parliamentary elections may be held at the same time as the US presidential elections. This makes the relationship between these long-time allies in Britain a political issue. In this case, the right-wing conservatives will be happy with Trump’s return, and on the other hand, in front of the Labor Party, he will turn cautiously towards the European Union.
Is: Brexit is essentially unquestioned by Britain’s largest opposition party. However, if Trump follows through on his threat — and pulls the U.S. out of NATO — at least a security pact with the EU is likely under a possible Labor-led government. Richard Johnson, a foreign policy expert at Queen Mary University of London, said: “If Trump wins, it could accelerate Britain’s re-alignment with the European Union under a Labor government.
It is further stated: No other European country will be affected by Trump’s return as much as this island country. From trade to security policy, London has increasingly aligned itself with the United States after the Trump-backed Brexit. The joint airstrikes against the Yemenis in the Red Sea emphasize the close military cooperation between the two countries.
Besides France, Britain is also the only nuclear power in Europe. This is probably why Manfred Weber, the leader of the European People’s Party in the European Union Parliament, has now proposed closer cooperation with the UK. According to him, they (the British) are also facing problems in guaranteeing their security. They are also short of money for their two aircraft carriers. Weber told the political portal Politico: “In this sense, it may be right to start an organized and structured dialogue with the UK now.
Whether this happens What happens depends on the outcome of the UK election. In addition to Johnson, recently Jacob Rhys-Mogg, a former British minister from the conservative right wing, also said that he would prefer to see Donald Trump instead of Joe Biden in the White House. However, this has less to do with Churchill than the fact that some conservatives suspect the US president of supporting Irish nationalists in Northern Ireland.
This article continues: Of course, Johnson and those around him hope that Trump will continue to support Ukraine in the war with Russia. However, this is by no means a foregone conclusion. That’s probably why British Foreign Secretary David Cameron recently tried to convince Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Green of the US House of Representatives how important military aid is to Kiev.
However, British Prime Minister Rishi Sonak has not yet taken a clear stance on this matter. But the fact that she did not meet Trump on her latest trip to the US, but instead met his party critic Mitt Romney, suggests Sunak wants to keep the populist, who is unpopular with the British public, at bay. On the other hand, British finance minister Jeremy Hunt has been more forthright and recently described the return of protectionism in the US as a “profound mistake”. Trump has announced that he wants to impose a 10% punitive tariff on all goods imported into the United States. Labor thinks about Trump, it could be more important. The largest opposition party is more than 20 points ahead of the Conservative Party in the polls and therefore has the best chance of forming the next government. Kira Starmer, the leader of the British opposition, accuses the Conservatives of acting more like Donald Trump. to work Menon of King’s College, noting that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair also had a good relationship with Republican George W. Bush, says: “But Starmer must also get along with Trump.” However, Labor activists want Starmer to look again for rapprochement with the EU if Trump returns. Brexit, which regulates trade and cooperation after leaving the European Union, is planned for 2026. David Lammy, a Labor official, previously floated the idea of a UK-EU security pact, which was drafted by former prime minister Theresa May in 2018, but her successor, Boris Johnson, did not pursue it further.
However, if the Conservatives lose in the London elections and Trump wins in Washington, the situation in England will fundamentally change.
