President Trump barreled into London like a bowling ball on his first trip to Britain as president last year, testing the special relationship by criticizing then-Prime Minister Theresa Mays approach to Brexit in the pages of The Sun ahead of his visit while praising her political rival at the time, Boris Johnson.
Mr. Trump is heading to London again next week, this time for a NATO summit marking the alliances 70th anniversary. Mrs. May is long gone from Downing Street. Mr. Johnson, still a favorite of the president, is prime minister and facing his own unpredictable election a little over a week after the NATO gathering on Tuesday and Wednesday.
On Friday, senior administration officials said the visit will include one-on-one meetings with President Emmanuel Macron of France, who recently warned about the brain death of NATO and suggested that Europe can no longer assume unwavering support from the United States. Mr. Trump will also meet with Angela Merkel, the chancellor of Germany, and attend a reception at Buckingham Palace hosted by Queen Elizabeth II.
Conspicuous for his absence from the list was Mr. Johnson. It is unusual for the president not to participate in a bilateral meeting with the leader of NATOs host country. While the presidents schedule was still in flux, one official said the reason for not scheduling a meeting was that Mr. Trump was very conscious of the fact that we do not interfere in other countrys elections.

Trump sure as hell didn't hesitate to comment during past UK elections and parliamentary debates......
It's pretty bad when Putin's two favorite sons can't get along......

(21,055 posts)Got to get his marching orders. I bet the intelligence agencies have been lisuening in on his domestic calls and he needs more of a private channel to find out what he must do with the investigations. Menace Traitor MF45 is getting scared. And needs daddy vlad to reassure him.

(19,186 posts)that he can still be re-elected with 7 million or so fewer votes that his democratic challenger. He got past Hillary with 3 million fewer votes, but it's going to be more of a challenge to Vlad's computer experts this time around. Good thing they still have that archaic Electoral College to work with. The will of the people must not be taken seriously.

(146,262 posts)Boris Johnson is having enough trouble without adding making nice to Donwald to the mix. I suspect Trump was asked not to push for a face-to-face. Being friends with Trump is not an asset in most places, I think.
