Britain risks becoming isolated among world powers if it doesn't cultivate the US Democrats and Joe Biden defeats Donald Trump at the next presidential election, says Lisa Nandy, a rising star of British politics responsible for the opposition's foreign policy.and came third, is the party's new shadow foreign secretary.
"Undoubtedly there would be a number of difficulties that would be removed for the UK if Biden was the president, but I think it's important not to overstate that case," she said. Boris Johnson shakes hands with US President Donald Trump during the annual NATO heads of government summit last year.Nandy, the daughter of an Indian father and British mother, represents a constituency in Manchester, in England's north, where she was born and raised. She ran for the Labour leadership earlier this year, urging a complete rethink of left politics after the Tories smashed the so-called red wall stronghold of previously Labour-held seats.
"It's essentially been a growth and trade policy," Nandy said of the foreign policy pursued by the Conservative British government over the past decade. Such a cross-party approach is similar to the bipartisanship that exists in Australia for most aspects of China policy, something she said was recognition of the scale of the problem the West faced.
