Donald Trump advised British Prime Minister Theresa May to "sue" the European Union in the tense negotiations over Britain's exit from the bloc, May said today.
The American president told reporters Friday at a joint press conference with May that he had given the British leader a suggestion that she found too "brutal."
Asked Sunday on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show what that suggestion was, May said with an amused expression: "He told me I should sue the EU. Not go into negotiation, sue them."
In an interview with The Sun newspaper published Thursday just as May was hosting Trump at a lavish black-tie dinner Trump said the British leader's approach likely "killed" chances of a free-trade deal with the United States. He said he had told May how to conduct Brexit negotiations, "but she didn't listen to me."
