<\/a><\/p>\nSince Boris Johnson took over as Britain\u2019s new prime minister three weeks ago he has been holding intensive phone calls with US President Donald Trump, according<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to media reports. There is a buzz that the much-vaunted \u201cspecial relationship\u201d between the US and Britain is finding new ardor.<\/span><\/p>\n But this supposed special alliance is never about equals, despite pretensions. It\u2019s all about Britain doing the bidding of its master in Washington. So when the pair are patting each other\u2019s backs that means potential trouble for the rest of the world from abuse of power by Washington and its enabling British lackey.<\/span><\/p>\n The intensity of renewed alignment between Washington and London saw Trump\u2019s National Security Advisor John Bolton visit the UK capital this week. During two days, Bolton had a flurry of meetings with top figures in Johnson\u2019s hardline Brexit cabinet. It was reportedly<\/a><\/strong><\/span> the most senior American delegation to Britain since Johnson took over in 10 Downing Street on July 23.<\/span><\/p>\n Last week, Dominic Raab, the new British foreign secretary, was in Washington where he was greeted at the White House by Trump. Raab subsequently gushed<\/strong><\/span><\/a> to media about how \u201ceffusive\u201d the American president was towards Britain\u2019s plans under Johnson to quit the European Union on October 31 without a departure deal. The so-called \u201chard Brexit\u201d option.<\/span><\/p>\n Johnson is expected to have his first meeting as British PM with Trump later this month during the G7 summit to be held in Biarritz, France.<\/span><\/p>\n Trump has gone out of his way to compliment Johnson as Britain\u2019s new leader, in particular praising his harder line towards the EU over separation terms. The American president had a fraught relationship with former PM Theresa May, and was often scathing about her proposed \u201csoft Brexit\u201d from the EU involving a transition customs and trade deal with the European bloc.<\/span><\/p>\n Trump\u2019s contempt for the EU is in line with Boris Johnson\u2019s and that of his hard Brexit cabinet. Johnson\u2019s Downing Street office and acolytes like Dominic Raab and Brexit planner Michael Gove are gunning for an abrupt exit in which Britain will not have any transitional trading relations with the EU. It will instead be moving to World Trade Organization rules as a sole trading nation.<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s partly why Johnson and his government are assiduously courting the Trump administration. London needs to find favor with the White House in order to avail of a US-British trade deal as a substitute for the EU, which has up to now been Britain\u2019s biggest market for imports and exports.<\/span><\/p>\n With several predictions of economic turmoil facing Britain in the event of a hard Brexit, Johnson is desperately relying on Trump to throw a trade life-line to the UK. That acute reliance on Washington by Britain makes Johnson an even more pliable British leader to American demands.<\/span><\/p>\n Already the American master is calling the tune for London\u2019s merry dancing. When foreign secretary Dominic Raab was summoned to the White House last week, the two main topics on the president\u2019s agenda were \u201ctrade\u201d and \u201csecurity\u201d. That coupling suggests a quid quo pro is being furnished. Then the British diplomat had meetings with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and John Bolton. Their discussions were said to revolve around Iran and Hong Kong.<\/span><\/p>\n
