The new prime minister is a natural ally for President Donald Trump, and their enthusiasm, energy and risk-taking personalities make them remarkably compatible.
New British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has taken charge with a speed and decisiveness that are historic. Whether he can finish Brexit by October 31—and win a general election—remains to be seen.
His friends from college have recounted that he was already thinking about becoming prime minister as an undergraduate, and they all assumed he would get to No. 10 Downing Street. Much like President Donald Trump with"Make America great again," the new prime minister announced that his goal was to make Britain"the greatest place on Earth."
As his first step toward leaving the European Union and implementing Brexit, Johnson announced that there would be no special arrangement at the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. This was one of the difficult provisions that had destroyed May's prime ministership. Strong supporters of Brexit see a special deal on the Irish border as a backdoor way to keep Britain under the thumb of the European Union.
Second, to his competitors in Great Britain, Johnson is saying he's happy to have a general election. He is already laying out a general election set of campaign promises with a young, enthusiastic, ethnically diverse Cabinet that is eager to campaign and eager to take the argument to the British people.Newly elected leader of the Conservative Party Boris Johnson gestures at Conservative Party headquarters in Westminster on July 23 in London.
