“UK sis involved”.
I noticed not much interaction between Trump and May at G7.
Others noticed too:
The uncomfortable truth for Number 10 is that Donald Trump is choosy about who he sits down with - Theresa May wasn’t a priority.
Based on everything he’s uttered or tweeted before, during, and after this G7 summit, it seems when Mr Macron, Mr Trudeau or Mrs Merkel say something, the president of the United States takes note.
That’s not to say he’ll act upon their concerns - this G7 has shown he’s not easily moved - but he has at least heard them.
It’s not at all clear that is the case for Theresa May.
As he left the summit, Mr Trump commented on how his relationships were faring with other leaders, saying of Mrs Merkel, Mr Macron and Mr Trudeau: “We have a great relationship. Angela and Emmanuel and Justin - I would say the relationship is a 10”. Of Theresa May there was no mention.
Neither did Mrs May have a formal one-on-one meeting with the president during the summit, despite holding such meetings with each of the other leaders present.
The uncomfortable reality for Number 10 is that Mr Trump is selective about who he sits down with. At this G7, Mrs May was seemingly not a priority.
Even in her concluding comments, the most Mrs May could say was that she’d had “brief words” with the president in which he said he was looking forward to his upcoming visit to the UK.
It’s something, for sure, but considering the seriousness of issues being discussed here, the prime minister surely would have hoped for more.
