      >Britain pursuing closer ties with the European Union will “not be viewed favourably” in the White House if it in any way affects the trading relationship between the UK and US, Washington’s ambassador to the UK has warned.

      >Warren Stephens said that the government’s recent decision to adopt over 70 European rules onto the UK statute book was likely to “be a problem” in Washington if it threatens the recently struck deal with the US.

      >“The relationship between the US and the EU is… a lot more difficult than the UK,” the diplomat said at a British Chambers of Commerce conference in London. “To the extent, and saw this week that the British government is going to put 76 laws or rules back on the books, to the extent that affects US trade and requirements, that’s going to be a problem.”

      I am sure this will be received very positively in Britain.

      Trump will be gone in 2029, if not sooner. The EU will be around for a very long time comparitively.

      The math is easy.

      The only new thing is that the Trumpians openly express their disdain for the EU.

      Brexit has been a gift to them, they want the EU to be broken up so they can bully each member state individually, just like they do with the UK now.

      For this reason alone Brexit was a catastrophic mistake. It set the precedent and the usual suspects smell blood.

      Only a united Europe stands in their way, only a united Europe is strong enough to withstand the many enemies the continent has. There is no alternative.

      USA can go do one.

      All trump has done has made former allies ties closer and themselves weaker and seen as a liability

      What closer ties? The EU seem intent on scuppering them. Quoting an extortionate amount to join SAFE, demanding Britain subsidises EU students studying at British Uni’s. Don’t think the US really has to worry that much tbh.

      The relationship is only difficult because of the worthless, corrupt freaks in the White House.

      Funny how Trumps policy of saying the quiet part aloud is just taken as given throughout his political web. An ambassador feels he can happily outline his toxic views and expect his host country to bow down and say yes sir. Irony being Trump 2.0 is the best thing to happen for European unity going forward. In or out of the EU, we’re all European first and foremost, and I don’t think some yanks understand the difference.

      „UK’s closer ties with EU are a problem“…for Putin, his US lackeys (and their supporters) and their plans to feed their narcissism and proceed with a multitude of illegal schemes that any sane people should oppose.

      If only there were things the US could do(or shouldn’t have done) to make closer ties to the US appealing. Nobody drive a wedge between the uk and US other than Trump(the US).

      The Trump admin is probably just looking for more reasons to cause problems rather than any sort of concern about U.K.-US trade.

      given the USA president is ridiculing the British PM, I think no one will fault for the UK to get closer to the EU

      Trumps an idiot. He makes the same mistakes that Russia literally just made. In threatening the world all its done is make new partnerships and allies

    22. ApexAurajin on

      Good. Make the ties even closer, bind them even tighter, squeeze out the poison.

    23. ballthyrm on

      I hope if helps the UK remember who are their friends. The US are only interested in a one-way relationship.

    24. morts73 on

      Even though there will be differences at times we are stronger together and they should never have left the EU alliance.

      Trump administration : Our allies can suck ass and they will get tarifs with no more NATO protection !

      Also Trump administration : why you all don’t like me 😭😭😭😭😭

      Edit for spelling

      He can get fucked. I’d like to see the continue with their punitive actions – it’ll just get everyone else to organise things quicker without them.

    29. Niadh74 on

      Why?? Because then we no longer are in a position to be influenced or controlled as much by the US?

    32. Vargau on

      US wants someone to wipe their ass after each shit and is quite upset that UK it’s not taking that role of a rag … extremely upset.

    34. Raven_Photography on

      Says the guy whose boss shits all over the UK and the EU at every opportunity.

    35. Ripraz on

      UK is basically the american ally version of Hungary towards Russia, luckily at least here they are out of the Union (still annoying)

    36. bobby_table5 on

      Wait… That guy is a diplomat? Does he tell his coworkers whose wife he’d sleep with too, or just for which one of their kids they shouldn’t make an effort?

    40. bonqen on

      They’re straight up threatening the UK. This is a Russia-styled threat. We’ll remember this, US.
