| Trump Twitter Mania Continues unabated |
Prime
Minister Theresa May blasted Trump for crossing a line by posting the
inflammatory videos on his Twitter page Wednesday — and then warning May
to essentially mind her own business and focus on Islamist terrorism
instead of him.
But officials were careful to note that ties with the United States are stronger than the current flare-up with the White House.
“It’s
increasingly clear that any official visit from President Trump to
Britain would not be welcomed,” tweeted London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, the
first Muslim to hold the office. Khan has repeatedly called for Britain
to withdraw an invitation for Trump to visit — and his stance appeared
to gain backing amid the outrage against the president.
In
a sign of the disruptive wake unleashed by Trump, British Home
Secretary Amber Rudd had to remind Parliament and the public that
Britain’s relationship with the United States was bigger than one
president — and that important trade, security and intelligence sharing
are ongoing.
Note EU-Digest: The statement issued by the British Home Secretary Amber Rudd in the British House of Parliament, was weak and insufficient. Britain should at least have presented an official note of protest to the US Ambassador in Britain and request apologies from the US Government for the insane and racially slanted Twitter messages by President Trump. The US President must not be allowed, at least by the international community, to get away with this nonsense.
