ANALYSIS — Some analysts and Democratic lawmakers see President Donald Trump pulling away from Europe. But the American leader and his British counterpart contended Thursday that Washington and London still have a “special relationship.”
“Our countries have a special relationship” that has been “passed down through the generations,” Trump said at a joint news conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in a packed East Room at the White House. “We’re going to keep it that way.”
The two leaders huddled Thursday at the executive mansion, and while there was plenty the duo said they agreed on, there were also signs both sides have work to do to keep the relationship “special.”
