Britain and the U.S. are still best mates, says the U.K.’s new Prime Minister Liz Truss.
“I do think our relationship is special, and it’s increasingly important at a time when we’re facing threats from Russia, increased assertiveness from China,” she said in an interview aired Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Truss had been asked about her previous comments describing U.S.-U.K. ties as “special but not exclusive.” After World War II, former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill characterized the connection as a “special relationship,” a moniker that has stuck ever since.
