Across the pool, interest is a lot of centered on the North American country presidential election over a year away, than it's on our very little contest in 2 days's time. The “special relationship” between the 2 nations has cooled ever slightly in recent months, most notably once the united kingdom irked Washington with its call to affix the Chinese-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.
