How could J.D. Vance impact the special relationship?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : "Trump has "sent a clear message to Britain" with his VP pick, said MailOnline.
55% : But the US is a "key ally of ours", and should Trump and Vance prove victorious "we'll work together constructively".
48% : David Lammy, now foreign secretary, has been meeting senior Republicans for months to smooth relations between Labour and the GOP, which is in "pole position" to take power in the US in November.Having previously called Trump a "woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath" and a "profound threat", Lammy has since tempered his remarks.
34% : Vance's claim about the UK being an "Islamist" country has added to existing fears that the UK's special relationship with the US could "decline sharply" if Trump returns to power.
28% : That could "cause trouble" for Europe and intensify fears that Trump would undermine Washington's commitment to Nato.
22% : Trump said that the 39-year-old former venture capitalist - a one-time "Never Trump" Republican who once dubbed him an "idiot" and suggested he could be "America's Hitler" - was "best suited" to the role of prospective VP.
22% : The "Islamist" barb could have also been aimed at Sadiq Khan, who has a long and contentious history with Trump.
17% : The London mayor called him a "racist, sexist homophobe"; Trump retaliated by describing Khan as a "stone cold loser" who had been "foolishly nasty".
