U.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May, who share an unusual bond as the products of anti-establishment uprisings, will sit down today at the White House for what could be a difficult search for unity on NATO, Russia and trade. Trump has declared NATO obsolete and expressed a desire for warmer ties with Russia. "America's leadership role in NATO — supported by Britain — must be the central element around which the alliance is built," May said. But she said that EU nations "must step up" to ensure NATO remains the cornerstone of the West's defence. Trump, on the other hand, wants a strong U.S. relationship with Russia to fight Islamic State militants.
