The UK can find its way in Trump’s America

WHAT happens in the US economy does not always stay there, particularly when it comes to the UK.

Britain cannot afford to mismanage this relationship, given its own economic and financial challenges. Its government must be agile, aiming not only to defend the domestic economy, but also to position itself to take advantage of any opportunities that emerge – and there will be many.
