Prime Minister Keir Starmer has weighed in on one of the trickiest questions facing Britain right now—whether the UK should lean more towards the US or Europe. His answer? We shouldn’t have to choose at all. Speaking to The New York Times, Starmer made it clear he believes picking sides would be a major misstep for the UK. “Many people are urging us to choose between the U.S. and Europe. Churchill didn’t do it. Attlee didn’t do it. It’d be a big mistake, in my view, to choose now,” he said.
Starmer’s comments come at a time when Britain’s post-Brexit identity is still very much up for debate. With the country no longer part of the EU and relationships with both Brussels and Washington under constant scrutiny, the question of who we align with is becoming more pressing.
