What would a Donald Trump win mean for Britain? | LBC analysis

Andrew Marr talks to former CIA Director, Leon Panetta, to discuss what a potential Donald Trump administration would mean for Britain.
The discussion comes amid Nigel Farage's admission that he won't stand for Reform UK in the upcoming General Election as he's more focused on what's going on in the USA.
Speaking on how a Trump victory could impact Britain, Panetta says: 'He's talked about withdrawing from the world - isolationism doesn't work.'

This sounds like another misrepresentation of Trump's position. Not only so but both Obama and Biden said they would put the UK at the back of the line in trade negotiations, while Trump said the opposite. I think that reflects their respective attitudes.

[@mandyharewood886]

Is your pants on fire yet? 😊

[@echobay5040]

They did not say that. They said that Brexit would put the UK at the back of the queue. And that is precisely what has happened. Every line that comes out of Trump's mouth is a lie so anything he says can reliably be discounted.

[@echobay5040]

yes if the UK did Brexit. They were right.

[@dabrack9350]

David, you are correct. Trump was clear America will not be a sucker, doing for others what they should do for themselves; but never said we would not be with them if they did step forward. It is true that after the Cold War America did not need Europe as we did previously and should renegotiate in light of the new dangers we both face.
