US President Barack Obama revealed this week that Washington no longer seems to consider Britain as its strongest ally. That label is now apparently attached to France.

Mr Obama was effusive in his support for the French and their President, Nicolas Sarkozy, at a press conference in Washington. Obama’s comments were seen by some as a snub to British Prime Minister David Cameron. But are the British or French particularly concerned by who the US regards as its special partner? We have reaction from both countries.
