The statement that best analyzes the foreign policy of Clement Attlee compared to that of Winston Churchill is:

b. Atlee was more willing to trust the Soviet Union than Churchill after WWII.

This statement reflects Attlee's more conciliatory approach toward the Soviet Union in the early years of the Cold War, while Churchill was more skeptical and critical of Soviet intentions, famously referring to the "Iron Curtain" in his speeches.
