Margaret Thatcher Reveals Breakdown of the Special Relationship (1991)

Подробнее о видео

On 28 June 1991, former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was interviewed by ITN's Michael Brunson about her 11 years in office. During the course of the conversation, Mrs Thatcher revealed the moment during her premiership when British relations with the United States were at their lowest. Ronald Reagan's 1983 decision to invade Grenada, a Commonwealth country, without telling Mrs Thatcher caused a deeply personal rift to open between the two leaders. Eight years later, Thatcher told Brunson that, while she had been "very perturbed" by the invasion, in the end she believed the US had done "very good things for Grenada".
