UK politicians hold breath as Trump arrives mid-campaign


LONDON - U.S. President Donald Trump says he doesn’t want to interfere in Britain’s election campaign. Britain’s opposition parties are relishing the visit by Trump, who is widely unpopular in the U.K., and whose statements of support for Johnson and Britain’s departure from the European Union are seen as more harmful than helpful. The main opposition Labour Party seized on Trump’s two-day visit to renew allegations that a post-Brexit U.S.-U.K. trade deal could damage the U.K.’s state-funded National Health Service. But Labour says the U.S. could try to demand during trade talks that Britain pay American pharma firms more for drugs. Asked Tuesday about Corbyn, Trump said: “I know nothing about the gentleman.”“I can work with anybody, I’m a very easy person to work with,” he added.
