Theresa May has expressed her “different position” on Jerusalem in a phone call to Donald Trump.
But while the Prime Minister reiterated her opposition to the US President’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, she made no mention of the recent furore that erupted after he chose to retweet anti-Muslim videos put out by a prominent far-right group.
It was the first time the pair had officially spoken since Mrs May and her government publicly rebuked the President for seeming to endorse the inflammatory message posted by a senior member of Britain First.
When Mrs May described Mr Trump’s actions as “wrong”, he reacted angrily on Twitter by saying she should focus her attention on tackling Islamic extremism.
