""Mr Romney aims to boost his foreign policy credentials on the trip.
But as he arrived in London on Wednesday, his campaign found itself on the defensive after an unidentified Romney adviser was quoted by the Daily Telegraph newspaper as saying: "We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he [Romney] feels that the special relationship is special.
"The White House didn't fully appreciate the shared history we have."
The Romney campaign has distanced itself from the comments, which the newspaper said might "prompt accusations of racial insensitivity".
Romney campaign spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg said: "It's not true. If anyone said that, they weren't reflecting the views of Governor Romney or anyone inside the campaign.""
