President Trump’s new ambassador to London, Woody Johnson, made his inaugural speech last night in which he praised the special relationship.
He also took aim at Barack Obama who angered Britons when he said the UK was “back of the queue” for trade deals post-Brexit.
Mr Johnson said: “As far as the president is concerned, the United Kingdom, our most enduring ally, is always ahead of the line.”
Obama also offended some Britons when he moved a bust of Churchill upstairs in the White House.
The new ambassador said that Mr Trump has restored it “to its rightful place directly opposite the President’s desk in the Oval Office”.

Mr Johnson is the billionaire owner of the American Football team the New York Jets and the heir to the Johnson and Johnson pharmaceutical company.
He is a novice to diplomacy, like all but one US ambassadors to London before him.
He earned the job as a reward for his fundraising and donations.
One of his priorities as ambassador is to smooth the path for Mr Trump’s state visit to Britain.
Mr Trump has vowed not to carry out the visit unless the risk of public protest diminishes.
The US ambassador told Britons last night that people misunderstand Trump.
He said: “Many of you do not know the president. I have known him for 30 years.
“When you get to know him, you’ll like him.”
Trump’s state visit to the UK may not happen until summer 2018.
His previous visits have been met with mass protests and even UK politicians have waded in to criticise the President.
In August, Nicola Sturgeon said the state visit should not go ahead after Trump’s response to events in Charlottesville in which a woman died during clashes between the far-right and left-wing activists.
