Jonathan Powell on the last Labour government's approach to dealing with the United States, as written in his book The New Machiavelli👇 "There are two approaches to trying to influence the Americans. The first is the French way, pioneered by General de Gaulle, which is to be as cussed as possible in the hope that the Americans will seek after you and pay a big price to bring you back on board. The other is the traditional British way, which is to try and stay as close as possible to the Americans in the hope of being included in their counsels. We opted for the latter, but there is a trade-off. If you want to exercise such influence, you have to keep quiet about it." "Britain always has an alternative.

But that would result in our having less influence in Washington and less ability to change anything in the real world."
