The "special relationship" between the US and the UK, an often stormy attachment, retains real meaning for both nations. More, naturally, to the smaller and weaker partner. As the UK moves inexorably away from the European Union, it must move closer to its one-time colony, which cast off the motherland and signed its proclamation of independence on July 4, 1776.
The question - one of the thousands that circle round the future presidency of Donald Trump - is whether his administration would welcome it. Would he even revive, with the authority of his office, the notion of the Anglosphere, and give it some solid form? Could he make the special relationship between the US and the UK more special than it has been since the two nations were united in defeating Nazism?
Mead was in London earlier this week to offer his insights and speculations about Trump's foreign policy to come. Like many US thinkers, both right and left, he sees the European Union as floundering, saddled with a currency not solidly anchored, more divided among its members than at any time in its history and unable to act as the stabilising force in the world that Washington hoped it would be.
Though US nationalism was a strong theme in Trump's campaign, closeness to Britain is part of it: The former colony taking the faded imperial titan into its embrace. The new occupant of the White House will find the reality of power akin to a cold shower: The world will not leave him alone. Faced with those whose agreements with the US-Asia on trade, Iran on nuclear weaponry - he has pledged to cast aside, Trump will tend to seek out allies that will remain with him.
Of all the European leaders' lukewarm congratulations to Trump, Prime Minister Theresa May's was the warmest. It stressed that "Britain and the US have an enduring and special relationship based on the values of freedom, democracy and enterprise. We are, and will remain, strong and close partners on trade, security and defense," she said.
