Trump takes parting Brexit shot at Theresa May, says he won't 'deal' with UK ambassador
President Trump lashed out Monday at British Prime Minister Theresa May and the U.K. ambassador who described the administration, in diplomatic cables leaked to the press, as “dysfunctional” and “inept.” Trump said the U.S. would no longer “deal with” the ambassador from America’s closest European ally.
In cables leaked last week, Sir Kim Darroch, theBritish ambassador to the United States, painted a damning portrait of Trump to his superiors. May, who stepped down as the head of the Conservative Party on June 7 but remains acting prime minister until a new leader is chosen, said Monday that while she disagrees with Darroch’s assessment of Trump, she continues to have “full faith” in the diplomat.May’s failed attempts to negotiate a slower British withdrawal from the European Union led her to resign the office she has held since 2016.“I’m surprised at how badly it’s all gone from the standpoint of a negotiation.
