The Shift in UK Foreign Policy

The recent changes in UK foreign policy prioritize working with both America and Europe, rejecting the notion that the UK must choose between the two. The new government has focused on increased presence and engagement, with notable international summits where they emphasized a collaborative approach. Critics highlight that despite this presence, the government lacks a clear and coherent strategy that defines its foreign policy direction and objectives. There is a prevailing sense of caution among diplomats regarding what the UK truly stands for on the global stage five months after the change in leadership.
