Currently the United States has no closer ally than the United Kingdom, and British foreign policy emphasizes close coordination with the United States. Bilateral cooperation reflects the common language, ideals, and democratic practices of the two nations blah blah blah. . . .George Washington saw this coming in his farewell address. Washington gradually began to oppose British control and influence over his personal finances and those of the colonies.
