Het de niet meer onafscheidelijke V.S. en UK `'

Één van de nieuwe ministers van Gordon Brown heeft het UK gezegd en de Verenigde Staten zouden niet meer „lid geworden worden van bij de heup“ over buitenlands beleid. Lord Mark Malloch Brown vertelde de Dagelijkse Telegraaf het tijd voor een „onpartijdiger“ buitenlands beleid en was om verhoudingen met Europese leiders te bouwen.

Sommige analisten kunnen het de opmerkingenbewijsmateriaal van de Buitenlandse minister van het Bureau van Arbeid bespreken die op een afstand houdt van de V.S.

International Development Secretary Douglas Alexander warned in a speech against unilateralism and called for an “internationalist approach” to global problems.

Lord Malloch Brown’s newspaper interview was his first since being appointed Foreign Office minister.

He used to be deputy secretary general at the United Nations and is a known critic of the Iraq war.

“It is very unlikely that the Brown-Bush relationship is going to go through the baptism of fire and therefore be joined together at the hip like the Blair-Bush relationship was,” he was reported as saying.

“That was a relationship born of being war leaders together.

“There was an emotional intensity of being war leaders with much of the world against them. That is enough to put you on your knees and get you praying together.”

He went on to speak of forging new links with French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, as well as with leaders in India and China.

“You need to build coalitions that are lateral, which go beyond the bilateral blinkers of the normal partners,” he added.

“My hope is that foreign policy will become much more impartial.”

His remarks come the day after Mr Alexander was accused of “coded criticism” of the policies of President George W Bush in a speech he made in the US.

When asked if his comments amounted to criticising the US, Gordon Brown’s spokesman said that view “was not shared” by the PM.

Mr Brown, himself, told BBC Radio Five Live that he would continue to work, as Tony Blair did, “very closely with the American administration”.
