Good. Make that choice binary for the incumbent UK government.
‘Special relationship’ has been used too much by uk politicians to coast through without diversification in foreign policies for ages.

While the world is becoming more and more complicated, it’s actually pretty easy to tell when your government is on the right track: if Trump and his cronies hate it, it’s probably exactly what should be done.

The same Americans that have been insulting the UK, the UK’s veterans, their military and Starmer himself think it’s a problem when allies turn their back on then?

What’s a problem for Washington and America as a whole is having a president that’s a pedophile and 34 times convicted felon.so go fuck off

Direct quote from the US ambassador.
““I know the EU is important to the UK, and you’ve got to do what’s best for you. But that will not be favourably received in Washington.”

And Washington is currently a problem for most countries of the world. Except for a handful: Russia, Israel, Belarus.

And US behaviour since the new president was inaugerated has also been a problem for the UK, so here we are.
Instead of doing the bright thing, giving the UK a sweet deal, making it clear that the US is a better partner than the EU could be they’ve repeatedly insulted us, hit us with tarrifs, changed the trading rules midfly and without warning, expected us to get behind their policy whilst keeping us out of the knowledge loop about what they’re planning to do let alone having some presence in the decision making room, constantly derided our military capability and offered nothing else than childish insults and tantrums.
Thats without the likely threats to UK democracy that we haven’t seen. (ignoring musk for now)

The sooner they realise they’re losing their superpower status (mostly by their own doing), the less lashing out there will be to witness, with a benefit for everyone involved.

Oh that is a tough one for the UK.
Trade with a lot of countries right next to you that will not throw random hissy fits, nightly FU episodes of threats, invade countries just because and demand full support for the chaos created.
Or be the obidient lap dog of Donald Trump. Not USA, but Donald Trump.

Influencing the UK into Brexit has probably been the greatest success so far of all the foreign agencies that seek to weaken the EU and therefore Europe. No wonder they now desperately want to prevent the UK from correcting that mistake.

If Trump’s goon doesn’t want you to do it – then you should most certainly do it.
And the Americans [also whinged about Europes FTA agreement with India too](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/very-disappointed-scott-bessent-hits-out-at-europe-over-india-eu-trade-deal-what-he-said/articleshow/127741301.cms)
