Sunak Visits US to Strengthen 'Special Relationship' and Promote Economic Cooperation
Rishi Sunak, the British Prime Minister, recently visited the US and attended a Major League Baseball game.
The visit was seen as an opportunity to strengthen the "special relationship" between the two countries.
Sunak was guest of honor at the game and declined to throw the first ceremonial pitch, instead passing the ball to a British army officer.
Sunak's visit was seen as successful, with the US media being respectful and the Blair House being used as a sign of favor.
Sunak has met with President Biden four times in the past four months, including at the Good Friday Agreement anniversary in Belfast, the Aukus submarine deal in San Diego, and the G7 summit in Hiroshima.
However, Sunak still has to convince the US that he is more than just a caretaker PM.
Rishi Sunak, the UK's Chancellor of the Exchequer, has a three-pronged plan to regulate artificial intelligence, secure the Nato secretary-generalship for defense secretary Ben Wallace, and promote economic and trade cooperation with the US.
His first win is the agreement to host a global summit on AI in London this autumn.
Sunak is also lobbying to bypass some protectionist provisions of Biden's Inflation Reduction Act to boost British industry while lessening dependence on China.
However, Sunak remains one step behind important events as Labour is more in step with Bidenomics over green subsidies and investment, and the EU and the US have already held a Trade and Technology Council meeting to discuss trade, AI, climate change, and the importance of securing critical minerals.
There is a widespread view in the US and EU that it is time for the first woman to lead Nato, and Denmark's prime minister is considered the favorite for the position.
The article discusses Rishi Sunak's visit to Washington as the UK's Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The main point of the visit is to ensure that Britain remains competitive and does not fall behind in terms of economic growth and development, particularly in the context of the country's exit from the European Union.
The visit is also about making sure that Britain gets ahead and achieves its economic goals.
