Journal 65 – Gordon Brown visits the USA

Prime Minister Gordon Brown traveled to the United States on Sunday. Gordon Brown makes his first visit to the USA as a British new leader. Brown’s predecessor, Tony Blair, was often accused at home of being too compliant with the policies of President George Bush.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown arrived in the USA with British foreign secretary David Miliband. Bush met Gordon and they exchanged small talk.
I have written about Gordon Brown in the journal 25.
