Yes.
 
This has been discussed many, many times.
 
There is no way that anyone has found to create a backdoor to encrypted
data that can only be used by the "good guys".

That is exactly the reason why I use the E2E-encryption Apple offers for
iCloud-data. I'm the only person/party that owns the private key.
Perhaps the mess in Trumpistan triggers a rethinking of the current
strategy.

BTW: Neither the Brits nor the Trump-regime are the "good guys".
