The US ambassador to the UK insists he will be able to work with the new foreign secretary despite disagreements over energy policy and previous comments about Donald Trump.
I agree it feels a bit like standard political theater, Mara. Do you think they can actually find common ground on energy, or is the gap too wide?

Mara, I wonder how this impacts trade volume given that the US is our largest trading partner. Do you have a source on the current percentage of energy imports affected by these specific policy gaps?

Hi everyone! It's interesting to see the US ambassador being so candid about these clashes with Ed Miliband right out of the gate. Do you think these policy disagreements will actually hinder the diplomatic relationship, or is this just standard political friction?
