It is reported that after Johnson announced his withdrawal from the Conservative Party party leader election, only the British "prime candidate" were Sunak and Modant, who had not yet obtained enough votes. Finally, later on the 24th, after Modant announced his withdrawal from the election, Sunak had no "contender" anymore and successfully became the leader of the Conservative Party and was about to take over as prime minister. British media believe that at this stage, the Prime Minister is not only responsible for rescuing the British people from the inflation crisis, but also must act as a "savior" and let the UK embark on a dynamic development path. Obviously, this is a difficult task for any leader.
At the same time, another thing has attracted much attention: the "UK-US Free Trade Agreement" is the goal of the British government's efforts over the years. This agreement will also create huge trade benefits for the UK, but it has been progressing slowly. The US side has repeatedly insisted on the terms of the agreement, and even often used agreement negotiations to coerce the British government to relax the Northern Ireland issue and Scotland issues; before Tras took office, her adviser said in an interview that the new prime minister would "tought the United States at the necessary moment", and then the White House sent a warning in a timely manner: I hope that Tras will not cause any difficulties in British-US relations after being elected; and then she said again after she came to power: if she attempts to revoke the Northern Ireland protocol will not "create a favorable environment" for negotiations.
24, Sunak received a completely different statement from the United States as soon as he announced his victory. White House spokesman Jean Pierre said that the President Biden and Hitman are now looking forward to meeting Sunak in the next few days, promising that the United States can maintain close cooperation with the United Kingdom in the future. According to the rules, this invitation letter should be sent before Sunak takes office, but Biden can no longer wait. At the same time, Biden himself praised Sunak for becoming the first Indian Prime Minister in British history and the first non-white prime minister as a "groundbreaking milestone."
So why is Biden's attitude gap so big? Some analysts believe that there may be two reasons: one is that Tras advocates a tough diplomatic style, especially during the campaign before taking office, which has a series of unceremonious statements to the United States, which has a lot to do with her deliberately imitating the "Iron Lady Route", so Biden naturally returns to the United States; the other is that before taking office, Tras threatened to move the cake of the United States and EU and modify the Northern Ireland Free Trade Agreement, which will weaken the interests of both sides in the UK. Therefore, she also received a warning notice from the United States and the European Union as soon as she took office, which is a kind of "recitation".
Also worth mentioning, on the same day, Indian Prime Minister Modi also tweeted to congratulate Sunak on the same day, saying, "I hope Sunak will become a 'living bridge' between Britain and India." Interestingly, Sunak, whose parents are both Indians, is an Hindu believer and has a special relationship with India. During his tenure as the Minister of Finance, he publicly celebrated the Diwali Festival in India at the door of his official residence, and issued collectible coins commemorating Gandhi . So Sunak's victory sparked cheers and celebrations on Indian social media, which was louder than Harris's position as the vice president of the United States at that time; but in the eyes of some British nationalists, this was absolutely unacceptable, and many people wanted to hold a general election ahead of schedule to oust the entire Conservative Party.
