Sometimes U.S. and U.K. politics seem in lockstep. Not this year.
United States follows with a momentous presidential election a few months later. It happened in 2016, when Britons voted for Brexit and Americans elected Donald Trump, and now it's happening again. Political soothsayers might be tempted to study the results of Britain's July 4 general election for clues about how the United States might vote on Nov. 5. In 2016, after all, the country's shock vote to leave the European Union came to be seen as a canary in the coal mine for Trump's surprise victory later that year.

Charting the Global Economy: New policies considered to be trade-restrictive hit a record in 2023
Inflation is set to ease across Group of Seven economies, according to those countries’ central bankers, but the progress will be uneven. G-7 leaders meeting in Italy are weighing the durability of America’s growth momentum against the perennial sickliness of Europe’s expansion. However, the softer inflation outlook could be challenged by an aging global population as more old people are spending and fewer young people are producing. In the UK, figures on inflation, migration, private-sector activity, retail sales and consumer confidence have all been published since Wednesday morning, hours before Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called a snap general election. An announcement on household energy bills highlighted the political divide.

How Rishi Sunak's small circle forged vote plan that shocked cabinet
Rishi Sunak gave his most senior ministers little more than an hour's notice of what he was about to tell the country and had already told King Charles III, that he had decided to call a snap UK general election for July 4. Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt was among those caught unaware. Foreign Secretary David Cameron, who'd had to cancel a visit to Albania just to make the meeting in Downing Street, expressed surprise, but said the decision «seizes the initiative, sets the agenda and forces the choice,» according to people familiar with the conversation.
