Trump in UK for NATO summit, endorses Boris indirectly

US President Donald Trump refrained from giving his view on British politics but did endorse Prime Minister Boris Johnson indirectly as he arrived in the UK for a three-day visit to mark 70 years of the NATO amid the ongoing general election campaign.

I have no thoughts on it. It's going to be a very important election for this great country, but I have no thoughts on it. I could work with anybody, he told reporters at a briefing at the US ambassador's residence in London on Wednesday.

Pressed further on why he was choosing to stay off the election topic, he said: Because I don't want to complicate it. I'll stay out of the election."
"Nobody needs Nato more than France... the US benefits the least. It's a very dangerous statement for them to make. I'm looking at him (Mr Macron) and I'm saying that he needs protection more than anybody and I see him breaking off (from NATO). So I'm a little surprised at that."
