The Prime Minister sent her two top staff on a secret mission to repair any damage done to the special relationship by the frosty exchanges after Trump's election

Theresa May will visit Donald Trump in the spring - and has already sent her closest aides to the US to build bridges with his team.

The Prime Minister ’s joint chiefs of staff were dispatched on a secret mission to the States in December to repair any damage caused by the frosty start to their relationship.

Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill reportedly travelled to the US for meetings in New York and Washington last month.

The first few days after Trump's election did not go entirely smoothly for the Prime Minister.

Mrs May suffered the indignity of Nigel Farage meeting with the President elect before she did - posing for chummy photos outside Trump Tower’s gold plated elevator just days after his election....

One of the things that just amazed me during this past election was the statements that foreign leaders made about Trump during the election. I could not believe that these “Leaders” of our close allies could be so reckless in their language considering that there was certainly a chance that they would have to work with Trump.

Why burn bridges that haven’t even been built yet.

The fact that nearly all world ‘leaders’ were convinced the fix was in proves that HRC’s vote fraud was aborted at the last minute by people who maybe had talked to James O’Keefe.

They had been assured by Kerry and Obozo that Hillary was going to win in a huge landslide, and that anything they said to disparage Trump was okay with them.........Then reality bit them in the tukas...............

A few points

May didn’t veto the UN resolution, could be that the Brits are always pro Muslim. After all the 1948 partition gave the Arabs 77% of the mandate much of it Jewish land that the league of nations gave the Jews decades before. Or the fact that Brits like Lawrence of Arabia were pro Arab. Or that many B zie population.

Second May was mad at Obama a week after the UN vote. Did Obama tell her he would veto the resolution and reneged on the pledge.

May and Farage don’t like each other, Does she hold DJT friendship with Farage against him.

Will May change her ways and stop payments to the PLO/PA
who sanction killing Jews and pay the killers and make them Heros?

After Obummer and Hilary how could anyone criticize Trump's lack of diplomacy or worry about his lack of adherence to protocol! ?

Obama sent his election team and spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayer money to Israel to defeat Bibi.
,
Obama interfered with the Zimmerman case, Brown Case, and many others.

Fast and furious cost hundreds of lives and was against Obama’s Gun control position, nobody punished.

Obama hacked allies personal conversations

Obumbler just a phony

She seems, at least, to be a much more warm of a person than Merkel.
