.JoeBiden waves goodbye to British PM BorisJohnson and awaits new allied leader
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, whom Biden once compared to former President Donald Trump, announced Thursday that he will step down from the post in the coming months, bringing an end to a scandal-ridden tenure."No one is remotely indispensable," Johnson said in a speech outside No. 10 Downing Street on Thursday."I regret to not be successful in arguments, and it's painful not to see through so many ideas and projects.
"Johnson's resignation will bring to an end a sustained period of unpredictability and chaos in the British government," said Kupchan, now a Georgetown University professor and senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations."Johnson was someone who seemed to stumble from one crisis to the next, and I think that everything else being equal, Washington will be pleased to have a steadier hand at the head of the British government.
"Johnson and Trump had quite a special relationship," said Brookings Institution senior fellow Dan Hamilton."I think Boris Johnson was hoping Trump would win [in 2020]. They both celebrated Brexit as a great thing. I think Biden thought it was one of the worst things that could have happened." The two did not see eye to eye on the issue of the Northern Ireland Protocol, which deals with the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and is also related to Brexit. Biden, who is of Irish ancestry, was also a close friend of former Sen. George Mitchell, who helped broker the 1998 Good Friday Agreement that helped stabilize the border. How this issue will progress going forward will depend on the makeup of the next British government.
