The UK has told government ministers to woo the Biden campaign, fearing that Trump is set to lose the US election, according to The Sunday Times.
“They’re writing off Trump in No 10 now,” a senior Conservative Party aide told the newspaper.
In recent weeks, Dominic Raab, the foreign secretary, met with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senator Chris Coons, and Congressman Richard Neal.
Karen Pierce, the UK’s ambassador to the US, has been warming up Tony Blinken and Jake Sullivan, two of Biden’s top foreign policy advisors, the paper said.
Most polls show Biden with a narrow lead over Trump in the run-up to the November 3 election.
Boris Johnson’s government has told ministers to forge ties with the Joe Biden campaign, sensing that Donald Trump is likely to lose the US election, according to The Sunday Times.
“They’re writing off Trump in No 10 (the prime minister’s official residency) now,” a senior Conservative Party aide told the newspaper.
The paper said that Johnson and his team viewed a series of private polls indicating that Biden had a 70% chance of winning on November 3.
As a result, UK’s top officials have in recent weeks moved to win over Biden allies, the Sunday Times said.
