Britain needs strong ties with both the United States and Europe, its foreign minister said as he sketched out a "second wave" of foreign policy under a new prime minister. His comments came amid recent signs of strains in the transatlantic alliance as British troops hand over powers to Iraqi security services in the south of the country. Since Brown took over as prime minister from Blair, he has appointed a number of Iraq war sceptics to his Cabinet, who reportedly had private doubts about the invasion. And it is thought that he could announce further British troop withdrawals in a statement to parliament in October.
