London ¨C Britain¡¯s government is set to announce legislation next month to move the country closer to the European Union, as the Iran war sours the U.K.¡¯s so-called special relationship with the United States.
U.S. President Donald Trump¡¯s unpredictability and stream of insults towards America¡¯s historic ally is adding impetus to Prime Minister Keir Starmer¡¯s bid to deepen ties with the 27-nation bloc, a decade after Britons narrowly voted to leave the EU.
