Former spy poisoning: British PM thanks Trump for expelling Russian diplomats
British Prime Minister Theresa May thanked US President Donald Trump for expelling Russian diplomats over the poisoning of former GRU Colonel Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, according to The Guardian.
According to Mrs. May, Britain and the United States have been partners for the past 75 years. She also added that in the past two years she has maintained a friendly relationship with Trump. She stressed that London and Washington are cooperating to investigate the poisoning.
In return, Trump said the UK must withdraw from the European Union. According to him, Theresa May has achieved good results in Brexit negotiations. Trump also added that he hopes to sign an “incredible” trade deal with London after Brexit.
However, Trump stressed that he was not closely following the situation surrounding London's exit from the EU.
