President Donald Trump’s phone conversations with the two British prime ministers who served during his first term were apparently so madcap that they left staff at Number 10 Downing Street in tears.
One former Downing Street source described the conversations as “extraordinary” and “brilliant” — the latter meant more sarcastically — and said those who were present were “there with tears [of] laughter” because the calls were “hilarious.”.
Another former British government official who worked in Number 10 at the time said any planned agenda for the arranged call between the two leaders would “quite quickly fall by the wayside” because Trump would simply change the subject to whatever was on his mind.
“They were never what you wanted them to be about, broadly.
He did not have feelings quite as warm for Johnson’s predecessor May, who was the second woman in history to lead the British government.
A White House official did not respond to a query from The Independent on when the two leaders might speak next.
There would be a very short leash,” one Trump team source said last week. »
