The Challenging Challenge of Being "Ally" with Trump

The British Prime Minister, harassed by an internal political crisis, did not behave very well during his meeting with the President of the United States

Theresa May, British Prime Minister, his "closeness" with Donald Trump causes him serious headaches.

The US visit this week to the UK, just in a moment of weakness of the British government, beaten by the resignation of two ministers for differences over the exit strategy of the European Union ( brexit ), still complicated May

Trump, who gave ample evidence to be true only to his own interests, severely criticized May, one of the few European leaders who boasted to maintain good relations with the President of the United States.

In an interview with the newspaper The Sun which began airing on Thursday night while May was presiding over a gala dinner in honor of Trump, the President stated that " plans Can maintain ties with the European Union, after the brexit exclude a trade agreement with the United States. "First shot down because a free trade agreement with this country is the main wager of the Prime Minister

" I would have made ( brexit ) very differently In fact I told Theresa May how to do it, but she did not agree, she did not listen to me, "said Trump, who felt that He was following a path that does not correspond to what the British backed in the 2016 Trump referendum, a linguist like few other es, also accused the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, of having done a "terrible" job against terrorism, one year after the wave of the 2017 attacks, in the seismic declarations that brought down the book.

A blow to the weakened prime minister, who is trying to establish his authority within his conservative party, which is currently very divided.

Although, in January 2017, May became the first international leader to visit US President Donald Trump, and it appears that the two leaders were settled on key issues, Trump decided to criticize at home

He had already done so since the end of the NATO summit in Brussels when he said "he is not doing a good job with brexit ". Trump plunged his finger even deeper into the yaga, considering The Sun that former Foreign Minister Boris Johnson, a possible candidate for the month of May, could be "a great prime minister" .

He remembered other rudeness that Trump had made to his "friend" May. In May 2018, he said that London was like a "war hospital" because of stabbings. "It's true, they do not have rifles, they have knives, and there is blood everywhere on the floor of this hospital." In January 2018, Trump said that he was not going to inaugurate the new US Embassy in London because its location was bad, the product of a "bad deal." "

In November 2017, when Trump retorted the messages of a far right British group, May told him that he had made a mistake, and he replied, "Do not you do not focus on me, focus on the radical Islamic terrorism that is happening in the UK. "

the political damage caused to May during her visit, saying that "she is an excellent woman, a professional", but she leaves with another controversial statement: "It is good to maintain a good relationship with the Russia ". Not a single sentence to this country for the use of poison on British territory.
