VP and Transatlantic Relations Program Frances G. Burwell is quoted in the Telegraph on the US-UK relationship:
It also found that the Commons vote against military intervention in Syria last year had not damaged the Special Relationship instead demonstrating the underlying depth and resilience of US-UK ties – a position not universally agreed upon in the Washington foreign policy community.
“I think that’s a very optimistic assessment,” said Fran Burwell, Director of the Transatlantic Relations Program at the Atlantic Council. “Big events like this feed into the growing perception in Washington that EU nations are no longer ready and willing to do what is necessary.”
