UK and US ‘closest allies’, says Miliband as he ducks criticism of Trump in DC

Foreign Secretary Miliband described the UK and US as the closest allies during his visit to DC. While he avoided criticising Trump, Miliband expressed gratitude to Marco Rubio for a productive and warm meeting. However, the American diplomat did not appear as effusive in his response. The visit focused on maintaining the strategic partnership between the two nations, despite differing tones in the diplomatic exchanges between the high-ranking officials from both sides.
