Diplomats' Preparedness for the Future
Ed Roman, who recently resigned from his position as Communications Director at the British Embassy in Washington, also refers to diplomatic efforts to prepare for the next U.S. president.

Esther Webber, senior foreign and defense affairs reporter, emphasizes in a separate analysis that Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Manchester, is likely to take a different approach to the White House than his predecessors. This approach may include innovative and more flexible strategies that could help Britain succeed in dealing with U.S. policies.
