Trump Rips Theresa May in British Tabloid Upon Arrival in U.K.
President Donald Trump left Brussels on Thursday after dropping a bomb on the NATO Summit and arrived in London — only to unleash fury on U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May.
Rupert Murdoch‘s British tabloid The Sun scored an exclusive interview with Trump and a preview of the paper’s front page carried a striking headline ahead of talks between the U.S. president and May.
“May has wrecked Brexit… US deal is off!” the headline read.

Trump arrived at London’s Stansted airport on Thursday, to kick off a three-day visit to London. He was greeted by Theresa May, the currently embattled prime minister who is facing what might be a politically fatal Brexit battle.
The full Trump interview is set to be released at 6 p.m. EST, but Sun political editor Tom Newton Dunn provided a sneak peek:
Trump tells me: “If they do a deal like that, we would be dealing with the European Union instead of dealing with the UK, so it will probably kill the deal”.

Trump also reveals to me PM ignored his advice on Brexit negotiations: “I would have done it much differently. I actually told Theresa May how to do it, but she didn’t listen to me”.
