Donald Trump has announced JD Vance, the Ohio senator, as his vice-presidential running mate, stirring controversy with Vance's remarks about the UK and NATO. Vance has called the UK an 'Islamist country' following a Labour win and criticized NATO as 'a tax on Americans.' These comments have raised concerns about the future of US relations with Britain and Europe, especially if Trump and Vance win the upcoming election. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and others have distanced themselves from Vance's statements, highlighting the potential diplomatic tensions his views could cause. Vance, known for his book on Americans of Ulster descent, has been in Congress for less than two years before being selected by Trump.
