Trump rant at PM on Air Force One call
DONALD Trump allegedly berated Theresa May in a phone call accusing her of not doing enough to rein in Iran while failing on Brexit and US trade deals with Europe.
The Prime Minister had called the US President as he flew on Air Force One to Paris last Friday to congratulate him on the midterm election. But she was met with a vicious attack, the Washington Post reported.
Trump pulled the US out of a nuclear deal with Iran earlier this year, but the UK and other countries did not follow his lead. Mrs May’s aides were reported to have been shocked by the president’s tone. US and European officials said Mr Trump’s mood was “sour” and the phone conversation with Mrs May “acrimonious”.
Downing Street has yet to comment on the report.
