President Trump's brutal interview with British tabloid The Sun is the equivalent of "coming in and kicking Prime Minister [Theresa] May while she’s down," NBC's Hallie Jackson said on Friday's Today. Hours after The Sun published the interview, Trump and May met Friday morning at the prime minister's country estate Chequers, and Trump was "staying mum" about his comments to the tabloid, Jackson said.
Not that reporters didn't ask May and Trump about it.
Trump said that during their 90 minutes of conversation over dinner, he and May "probably never developed a better relationship than last night." He said, then repeated, that "the relationship is very strong," not quite addressing the questions about his Sun interview. May said she and Trump are "going to discuss the real opportunities we've got for a fantastic trade deal when we leave the European Union." In his interview, Trump said May's Brexit plan endangered a U.S.-Britain trade deal.
