That 'special relationship' is looking even tattier now...
Donald Trump failed to name Theresa May among his closest allies as he walked out of the G7 summit early with a blast at its members for “robbing” the US.
In an extraordinary closing press conference, the US president attacked the world’s other economic powers, telling reporters: “We are like the piggy bank that everyone is robbing.”
He insisted his relationship with other G7 leaders was “a 10”, despite deep rifts over Russia and steel tariffs – but, strikingly, without mentioning the British prime minister.
“I would say that the level of relationships is a 10. We have a great relationship – Angela [Merkel] and Emmanuel [Macron] and Justin [Trudeau],” he said.
Oh dear - no holding hands and running barefoot through the wheat fields with Treeza anymore. Actually, there have been claims the US president has told allies that he resents her “school mistress” tone – and he snubbed the idea of formal talks between the pair at the two-day get-together.
