Prime minister says US president’s speculation that perpetrators were known to police is unhelpfulTheresa May has rebuked Donald Trump for suggesting the people responsible for the explosion on a London tube train were known to the Metropolitan police. The prime minister expressed her frustration as she spoke for the first time about the “cowardly attack” at Parsons Green on Friday that injured at least 22 people. Speaking outside the White House later on Friday, Trump said he planned to speak to May but made no reference to her rebuke. In fact, I’m going to call the prime minister right now. “We have made more progress in the last nine months against Isis than the Obama Administration has made in 8 years,” Trump added.
