Obama has made a very serious mistake in declaring France our biggest ally.
10,000 British troops serve in Afghanistan's Helmand province compared to 3,850 from France. It will be interesting to see how the British react to this. The Brits have been our biggest ally for decades.
The President risked offending British troops in Afghanistan by saying that French president Nicolas Sarkozy is a ‘stronger friend’ than David Cameron.
The remarks, during a White House appearance with Mr Sarkozy, will reinforce the widely-held view in British diplomatic circles that Mr Obama has less interest in the Special Relationship than any other recent American leader.
