Britain's foreign minister Boris Johnson has arrived in the United States to meet close advisers to President-elect Donald Trump and senior Congressional leaders to discuss ties between the countries.

Johnson's visit, which was not flagged in advance, is part of Prime Minister Theresa May's strategy to improve relations with Trump's team after the president-elect irritated the government by saying that outspoken anti-EU campaigner Nigel Farage would be a good choice for Britain's ambassador to Washington.
May's two most senior aides made a secret trip to the United States last month.
"Following the successful meeting last month between the Prime Minister's chiefs of staff and President-elect Donald Trump's team, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson is undertaking a short visit to the U.S. for meetings with close advisers to the president-elect and senior Congressional leaders," a spokesman for Britain's foreign ministry said in a statement on Sunday.  
Looks like the British are wasting no time coordinating with Trump and his administration.  Glad  they are to see the anti British Obama go, I'm sure.  

The discussions will be focused on UK-U.S. relations and other foreign policy matters.

  1. I see a US-UK trade deal that could be inked soon into the Trump Presidency.

  2. Old Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times." Maybe some good will come of this, it certainly can't get any worse.

  4. Seems Barry's attempt to ban all things British (including Winstons likeness) from the Oval Office was a bust. He he.
