US President Donald Trump sparked outrage in Britain’s political establishment on Thursday with a sharp rebuke of Prime Minister Theresa May on Twitter after she criticised him for retweeting British far-right anti-Islam videos. As British politicians lined up to condemn Trump for sharing videos originally posted by a leader of a British far-right fringe group, Trump, in an unprecedented attack on one of America’s closest allies, replied with an unrepentant message. “We have been clear: President Donald Trump was wrong to retweet videos by far-right group Britain First,” Home Secretary (interior minister) Amber Rudd told parliament. Since Trump became president, May has gone out of her way to cultivate a good relationship with him. She later said that Trump took her hand in a gentlemanly gesture as they walked down a ramp.
