The UK’s future relationship with the US

Inquiry

The House of Lords International Relations and Defence Committee has launched an inquiry into the future of UK-US relations.

The inquiry will assess the state of the transatlantic relationship, explore the impact a second Trump Administration may have on it (as well as the rules-based international order), and what trends in US foreign policy are likely to persist and influence the relationship beyond the next four years.

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was Friday 14 March 2025.
