US President Donald Trump on Tuesday refrained from giving his view on British politics but did endorse Prime Minister Boris Johnson indirectly as he arrived here for a three-day visit to mark 70 years of the NATO alliance amid the general election campaign in the UK.
President Trump is visiting the UK to attend a Nato summit on Wednesday in Watford, south-east England, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the transatlantic organisation.
Trump said he was staying out of the UK election on December 12 “because I don’t want to complicate it”.
“I have no thoughts on it. It’s going to be a very important election for this great country, but I have no thoughts on it. I could work with anybody,” Trump told reporters at a briefing at the US ambassador’s residence here.
