British Secretary of Defense Ben Wallace admitted that the prospect of increased isolationism in the United States “keeps me awake at night.” The kingdom may not be able to count on military support from the United States, and therefore the British should be prepared to rely only on their own forces.
“I am worried that the United States may leave a leading position in the world. It will be bad for the world and bad for us. We are preparing for the worst and hope for the best.
Over the past year, the United States withdrew troops from Syria, Donald Trump in a statement on Iraq said that NATO forces should replace and do more in the Middle East. The assumptions made in 2010 that we will always be part of the coalition with the United States do not really reflect the place we will occupy
We are very dependent on US air support, US intelligence and tracking. We must diversify our strengths and assets, ”Wallace said.
