Times: Trump’s victory involves England in security challenges

According to RCO News Agency, “John Sowers”, the former director of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), in an article referring to the victory of “Donald Trump” in the US presidential election, considered this victory to be the cause of security challenges for the British government.

According to Sowers’ article published in the British “Times” newspaper, the friends and allies of the United States are anxiously waiting for the formation of the new Trump administration and the clarification of its policies on global conflicts, and no country is more worried than the United Kingdom, which has long been the closest ally of the United States in It has been the field of defense and security.

Referring to Trump’s intention to appoint “Tulsi Gabard” as the “Director of National Intelligence of the United States”, he recalled his statements in support of “Bashar Assad” and “Vladimir Putin”, the presidents of Syria and Russia, and said: “I want to know what It has turned him from a leftist democrat to a supporter of Assad and Putin. Will (during his tenure) the secrets that America’s allies share with the agencies of this country be preserved?”

The Director of National Intelligence of the United States is one of the highest intelligence officials in this country and not only advises the president personally on intelligence matters, but all 18 intelligence agencies of the United States, including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), are responsible to him.

In his article, the former British representative to the United Nations also mentioned Trump’s intention to appoint “Pete Hegst” as the United States Secretary of Defense, and pointing to the Pentagon’s need for huge advances in technology and strengthening American alliances, his ability to realize this He questioned the goals.

In this report, referring to Donald Trump’s focus on Russia, China, India, and the European Union, it is emphasized that the president-elect of the United States sees these countries as competitors that must be contained, and the logic of his game is not win-win. Therefore, Britain needs to find its own role and use its historical strengths to avoid being marginalized.

Sowers then advised British Prime Minister Kerr Starmer in this article to develop his relations with European countries and wrote: “In the field of relations with governments, Starmer will have an easier job ahead of him in strengthening his security ties with European partners.”

According to this report, the cooperation between England and the European Union in the field of military and security has a weaker foundation, and even the depth of this country’s cooperation with Germany and France is not high. London’s nuclear cooperation with Paris has improved over the past 15 years, but it is still under the shadow of Britain’s dependence on the United States for deterrence.

On the other hand, according to this former British intelligence official, any move by the Stormer government to significantly improve relations with Europe may result in the reaction of Brexiteers (the British exit from the European Union) and, moreover, the United States cannot be completely excluded. , because in the absence of the United States, the NATO alliance will not be able to meet the defense needs of Europe.
