Doesn't work quite like that. Not just president, both the house & senate have to be with GOP - and may be GOP would need more than 60 votes in the senate to defeat filibuster. Basically something like this would need active co-operation from both parties.
BTW, I didn't have "first UK PM of Indian origin" as one of the results in my Brexit Bingo card
ps : Didn't know Rishi's wife is Narayana Murthy's daughter. Murthy is the founder of Infosys - and credited with starting India's software industry.

Not a cat in hell's chance. UK will be lucky to keep Nissan going on bribes.

meanwhile Brexit vanity project "BritishVolt" nears bankruptcy before a single brick has been laid, let alone a cell produced
UK battery firm Britishvolt near collapse as it seeks funding
Britishvolt could run out of money after the government refused to advance £30m in funding.

Mini is going, and without local battery supply Nissan will have problems exporting from UK and better opportunities elsewhere
scenarios in relation to US inflation act are unlikely to be beneficial to UK as I see it:
- USA keeps inflation act intact - UK Loses
- USA & EU come to agreement - UK loses
- EU retaliate with own "inflation act" restricting assistance/grants to imports from third world countries - UK loses
only scenario that could help UK, slightly, is if we get a USA trade deal, which seems as far away as ever (and comes with may downsides of course)
And UK has very little leverage to negotiate its own terms relating to batteries and EVs with the USA. we are just far far too small a trading block.
It comes down to:
EU threatens to fine Poland over judiciary ruling – DW – 07/20/2021
Warsaw could face financial penalties for disregarding a ruling by the EU top court, which ruled Poland's judicial reform incompatible with the law. "EU law has primacy over national law," the European Commission said.

The Brexit silence is breaking
There has been a palpable change in the last week. Brexit is suddenly being more widely talked about again, and not just talked about but questioned and criticised.
.... just in time to make a difference in the next election ....

More bad news upcoming for the City of London, as EU plans to legislate for more derivative trading within EU borders, potentially cutting off trillions of transactions for London, after the current temporary Brexit agreement expires on 30th June 2025.
More evidence that Brexit is ongoing, and certainly not "done", with more harm to the UK economy still to hit us..... and with third country status as negotiated by the conservative government, we can do very little about it.
