Britain Prime Minister Theresa May said at a joint White House press conference with Donald Trump that the US President is 100% behind Nato, an agreement the Republican leader had often been critical of during his election campaign. Trump did not dispute May, allowing himself to be put on the record about the issue and his apparent support for Nato is being touted as “May-effect”. Trump is expected to speak to Putin on Saturday, with experts saying the issue of US sanctions could come up. Torture for interrogationAt the press conference, Trump said he will defer to members of his team, defence secretary James Mattis, over the use of torture as an interrogation technique.
