President Donald Trump has lashed out on Twitter to British Prime Minister Theresa May because of the Brexit. He also no longer wants contact with the British ambassador to the United States.
“I have always been very critical of how Prime Minister May dealt with the Brexit,” tweets Trump. “What a mess she made of it. I told her how to handle it, but she decided to go her own way. It’s good that the UK will have a new prime minister soon.”
In a second tweet, the American president also lashes out at Nigel Kim Darroch, the British ambassador to the US. “I don’t know the British ambassador, but he’s not loved in the US. We won’t have anything to do with him anymore.”
I have been very critical about the way the U.K. and Prime Minister Theresa May handled Brexit. What a mess she and her representatives have created. I told her how it should be done, but she decided to go another way. I do not know the Ambassador, but he is not liked or well….

Trump responds with his tweets to the Daily Mail message about leaked memos from Darroch last Sunday. In those memos, the ambassador is said to have told foreign minister Jeremy Hunt, among others, that Trump is “incompetent and uncertain”. The ambassador also called conflicts in the White House “knife fights”. The memos have been sent from 2017.
Hunt, also a candidate to become the new British Prime Minister, is disappointed that the messages have been leaked. “Although I disagree with the ambassador, our employees must be able to say in confidence what they want.” Hunt has launched an investigation to find out who has leaked.
….thought of within the U.S. We will no longer deal with him. The good news for the wonderful United Kingdom is that they will soon have a new Prime Minister. While I thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent State Visit last month, it was the Queen who I was most impressed with!
