  • Background, Brexit, and Relations with the United States
    The United Kingdom: Background, Brexit, and Relations with the United States Updated April 16, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL33105 SUMMARY RL33105 The United Kingdom: Background, Brexit, and April 16, 2021 Relations with the United States Derek E. Mix Many U.S. officials and Members of Congress view the United Kingdom (UK) as the United Specialist in European States’ closest and most reliable ally. This perception stems from a combination of factors, Affairs including a sense of shared history, values, and culture; a large and mutually beneficial economic relationship; and extensive cooperation on foreign policy and security issues. The UK’s January 2020 withdrawal from the European Union (EU), often referred to as Brexit, is likely to change its international role and outlook in ways that affect U.S.-UK relations. Conservative Party Leads UK Government The government of the UK is led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the Conservative Party. Brexit has dominated UK domestic politics since the 2016 referendum on whether to leave the EU. In an early election held in December 2019—called in order to break a political deadlock over how and when the UK would exit the EU—the Conservative Party secured a sizeable parliamentary majority, winning 365 seats in the 650-seat House of Commons. The election results paved the way for Parliament’s approval of a withdrawal agreement negotiated between Johnson’s government and the EU. UK Is Out of the EU, Concludes Trade and Cooperation Agreement On January 31, 2020, the UK’s 47-year EU membership came to an end.

  • Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg April 30, 1948–June 29, 1953 Portrait By
    Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg April 30, 1948–June 29, 1953 Portrait by Francis Henry Beaugureau OYT S. VANDENBERG was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on January 24, 1899. His father, William Collins Vandenberg, was president of a bookbinding company. HHis uncle, Arthur H. Vandenberg, went from newspaper publishing in Grand Rapids to prominence as a Republican member of the U.S. Senate. His family moved to Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1910 and Hoyt participated in the gamut of high school sports—baseball, football, hockey, golf, and track. He had an avid interest in scouting, ultimately becoming an Eagle Scout. His experience at the Plattsburg Junior Camp at Plum Island, New York—a sort of military school for the wealthy—in the summer of 1916 instilled a desire for a military career. Political connections and a year of hard work at Columbian Preparatory School in Washington, D.C., earned him an appointment to West Point, where he graduated and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Air Service in 1923. After completing the Primary Flying School at Brooks Field, Texas, in 1923 and Advanced Flying School at Kelly Field, Texas, the next year, he received his first assignment with the Third Attack Group at Kelly Field and assumed command of the 90th Attack Squadron. In Texas he married Gladys Rose, whom he had met as a cadet. They had two chil- dren. In 1927 he became an instructor at the Air Corps Primary Flying School at March Field, California. From 1929 to 1931 Vandenberg was with the 6th Pursuit Squadron at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, where he served as squadron commander for most of that period.
