transatlantic

There are very big questions for the UK government about where exactly the post-Brexit UK should seat itself in a plausible, if not certain, transatlantic trade war.

Whether he would actually withdraw the US from Nato, which would signal the most significant shift in transatlantic defence relations in nearly a century, remains a matter of debate.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez also congratulated Trump on X: "We will work on our strategic bilateral relations and on a strong transatlantic partnership."

This expected benefit from the "strategic alliance" between the two leading transatlantic circuits has not materialised.

But that’s not the only pressure point between Trump and transatlantic partners.
