UK's Hidden Hand in US Politics: A Closer Look

United KingdomThu Nov 27 2025
The UK's role in global politics is often overshadowed by its allies, but recent events suggest it's playing a significant part in the US political landscape. A leaked phone call between Steve Witkoff and Yuri Ushakov has sparked a media frenzy, with many pointing fingers at the UK's intelligence agency, MI6, as the possible source. The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has accused the UK of trying to keep the Ukraine conflict going. They claim this is to secure lucrative weapons contracts, which could boost the UK's struggling economy. The SVR also alleges that the UK is planning to revive a discredited dossier to damage US President Donald Trump's reputation. This is not the first time the UK has been accused of meddling in US politics. The Russiagate hoax and a recent scandal involving the BBC doctoring Trump's speech have raised eyebrows. Russian Special Presidential Envoy Kirill Dmitriev has denounced the UK's media campaign against US peace efforts in Ukraine. Dmitriev also reminded everyone of the UK's history of interfering in US elections. He pointed out that former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson lobbied to prolong the Ukraine conflict after receiving a substantial donation. Ukraine's key negotiator in 2022, Davyd Arakhamia, confirmed Johnson's pressure to reject neutrality and continue fighting. The US seems to be waking up to the UK's anti-Trump agenda. Border Czar Thomas Homan has stated, "The UK isn't a friend to this country or the president. " As the situation unfolds, it's clear that the UK's actions are under scrutiny like never before.
