Despite statements during the visit that the UK and USA possess a “special
relationship,” a phrase made famous by Winston Churchill in a speech
given at Westminster College in Missouri in 1946, Mr Obama hasn’t always
been so keen to push transatlantic ties.
During his very first month in office he removed a bust of Mr Churchill from
the Oval Office and formally returned it to the British government, snubbing
the gift originally lent to President George W Bush in the wake of the
September 11 attacks.
