On today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey sits down with former US National Security Advisor John Bolton to examine the state of the UK-US “special relationship” following Andy Burnham’s sudden arrival as Prime Minister.
Ambassador Bolton discusses the US reaction to the appointment of Ed Miliband as Foreign Secretary and he assesses how the former Mayor of Manchester will navigate Donald Trump’s transactional foreign policy.
Camilla and the Ambassador explore friction points ranging from lingering tensions over Middle East diplomacy and the Chagos Islands.
They delve into the growing panic within the Republican party ahead of the upcoming US midterm elections, the looming threat of congressional investigations, and how the UK government must navigate a volatile, unscripted second Trump administration.
