Tories are always keen to play to impress the US
Why do you say the Tories want to impress the US
Do you recall how close Blair was to the US at the time of the illegal war and preceding it?
I heard a good quote from him on this about being best friends who you do anything for when the going gets tough
Maybe Starmer is more EU focussed, who knows, but historically Labour have been very close to US by choice
