Here are some specific examples of how the US-UK relationship developed during Obama's presidency:
- The two countries continued their close cooperation on counter-terrorism, with the US providing intelligence and military support to the UK's efforts to combat the threat of terrorism from groups like al-Qaeda.
- The US and the UK worked together to promote a global agreement on climate change, culminating in the Paris Agreement of 2015.
- The two countries signed an agreement to deepen their economic and trade relationship, known as the US-UK Trade and Investment Framework.
- The US and the UK committed to working together to increase the transparency of international development assistance and improve its effectiveness.
There were, however, some areas of disagreement between the US and the UK during Obama's presidency, including:
- The US decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal
- The UK's decision to vote to leave the European Union
- Differing approaches to the Syrian civil war
Despite these areas of disagreement, overall, the US-UK relationship remained strong and cooperative during Obama's presidency, with the two countries continuing to work closely on a range of global challenges.
