It is the most important international relations that the UK has, and has been called “special” for decades. Since World War II, the UK and the US have considered themselves as their closest allies, working together for shared values, resent, disagreement, or crosswords held on private channels.

But if Trump has no allies, how much can only transactional relationships be expected to achieve priorities during this meeting?
