With Theresa May mired in negotiations and controversy regarding Brexit, she says President Trump gave her some advice: « He told me I should sue the EU—not go into negotiations, » the British PM tells the BBC. She quickly added to her interviewer, per the New York Times, « Actually, no, we are going into negotiations with them. » Trump earlier alluded to his advice, noting at a press conference that May seemed to find it too « brutal. » Adds May, seemingly noting a contradiction in Trump’s advice: « Interestingly, what the president also said at that press conference was, ‘Don’t walk away. Don’t walk away from those negotiations because then you’ll be stuck.’ So I want us to be able to sit down to negotiate the best deal for Britain. »
