    After Brexit, I’m not so sure the problem is who can Britain trust, but rather who can trust Britain.

      It may be worth noting that this is in The Telegraph, occasionally referred to as “The Torygraph”, a nickname earned for being the slightly less rabid, but still very much right-leaning newspaper. “Tory” being used in the pejorative sense.

      In that newspaper, the thought of the UK being untrustworthy or that Brexit was a bad idea must be carefully skirted at all costs. Then again, that seems to be government policy no matter who the government is these days.

    The UK might not be able to trust the US but they should be taking advantage of current events to leverage their relatively better trading position, compared to most other nations, to score some solid economic gains. Trump is likely to overlook the UK because the Pound isn’t a threat to Dollar supremacy like the Euro.
