THERESA MAY SPEAKS IN FAVOUR OF DONALD TRUMP CONCERNING THE SUPPORT OF NATO

Donald Trump and Theresa May have re-affirmed their commitment to the US/UK special relationship during
a short but friendly news conference in the White House. May is the first foreign leader to meet the new president and she congratulated Trump on his “stunning” election victory. Trump said that he expected to have a “fantastic relationship” with the prime minister. The press conference passed off without any awkward disagreement, although May was later criticised by opposition politicians in the UK for not confronting Trump on issues like climate change, human rights, Iran and Israel.
