The next day, he called the publication “fake news,” although Sun, along with the text of the interview, also published audio excerpts of the conversation, writes Air force.

Trump explained that the British tabloid did not include positive statements by the American leader about Theresa May, and therefore allegations of his criticism of the British prime minister are “fake news.” He added that overall the interview was not bad.

In an interview, US President Donald Trump said that by "ruining Brexit", May may have undermined the possibility of reaching a trade agreement between Britain and the United States. According to him, May ignored his advice to avoid a “soft Brexit”.

He warned that any attempt to maintain close ties with Europe would undermine the likelihood of a favorable trade agreement with the United States. “If such an agreement is reached, then we will have to deal with the European Union, not the UK, so we will simply refuse the agreement,” he said.

Besides this, Trump:

• accused EU leaders of destroying culture and national identity, because they are letting millions of migrants into their countries;
• accused the mayor of London Sadiq Khan of not resisting terrorists;
• accused Khan of rising crime in London;
• suggested that former foreign secretary Boris Johnson would become an excellent prime minister;
• noted that he would maintain contact with Vladimir Putin, despite the poisoning in Salisbury;
• demanded that Britain and other NATO countries spend more on defense;
• expressed sadness over the protests in London over his arrival;
• expressed confidence that millions of Britons support his policies;
• said he is proud to introduce his spouse Melania to the queen.

ABC correspondent Meridit McGraw tweeted Sun correspondent that White House press secretary Sarah Sanders tried to get Trump unsuccessfully away from the interview.

“The BBC interviewed the Sun correspondent who interviewed Trump, who said that Sanders tried in every possible way to stop the interview, but Trump just brushed her off and continued talking well beyond the allotted 10 minutes. At the end he concluded:

“No one can tell him in his own organization. You feel like you’re in the court of a medieval emperor.”

On Friday, Trump said Brexit was a great opportunity and that no matter what the UK did after leaving the EU, he would be OK with it. According to him, relations between the United States and Britain are at the highest level.

Edition "Komsomolskaya Pravda"Quotes the most vivid quotes from Trump's interview with The Sun.

About Brexit

“The plan of the British government will have the most negative impact on trade with USA"(The 98-page plan says that after Brexit, London will conclude with EC The Association Agreement will also create a new free trade zone - Ed.).

“If they conclude agreements in this way, then we will deal with the European Union instead of dealing with the UK, so the option of“ soft Brexit ”might kill the deal.”

“I would have done it quite differently. I actually told Teresa May how she was supposed to negotiate on Brexit. But she wanted to go the other way. ”

“Deals that take too much time are never good.”

“Actually, I predicted Brexit. Because the British do not want to deal with migrants, as it happened in other European countries. Barak Obama once assured us that this will not happen, and the UK will return to the bosom of the EU. But Brexit happened. I was right".

On the meeting with the President of Russia

"Cope with China, cope with Russia “That's good,” Trump said, answering the question if he could refuse to participate in the summit with Putin due to incidents in Salisbury and amesbury.

About Teresa May

“I think she's a good person. You know, we get along well with her. Everything that The Washington Post writes is absolute fake news.”

About Boris Johnson

“He is a very talented politician. I like him very much and I respect him. And I, in turn, really like Boris. He said very good things about me many times.

About the Mayor of London and Migrants

“Looking at the situation in European cities, I will tell you straight. Your mayor (capital mayor Sadiq Khan - Ed.) has done a terrible job. Take a look at the terrorist threat level. Look what's happening in London. There is so much crime and radical Islamists. He is not coping with his responsibilities at all.”

“I recently read the information that in London, where there are incredibly tough laws regarding weapons, one once prestigious hospital in the city center looks like a field hospital because of the number of patients with terrible knife wounds. That is, they have no weapons, but they have knives. And all the floors of the hospital are covered in blood. ”

About London and its inhabitants

“I have no reason to stay in London. I used to love this city. I haven't been here for a long time. But they don't expect me here. They make me feel unwanted—like a named guest.”

“But not everyone loves me. Many Britons are delighted with me. I receive thousands of letters from them, where they write that they love the President of the United States. They want the same thing that I want. Believe me, I love the UK. ”

Why did Trump choose The Sun?

- This is logical - he understands that any respectable publishing houses belong to someone. That is, they will rule Trump and dictate their terms to him,” says American political scientist Sergei Sudakov. - And The Sun is a dump. You can say whatever you want, and then at any moment retract your words, saying: “Well, who do you believe, me or this garbage dump?”

Another opinion

“In reality, Trump just wants to get away from the mainstream media. This, by the way, explains his activity on Twitter,” said “KP» political scientist Victor Ananyev. — No matter what anyone says about the free press, we understand that large publications always represent the interests of certain political groups. Many of them are hostile to Trump. And it is no secret that he is waging an open war with a number of media outlets.

Therefore, the tabloid The Sun was chosen - to put it mildly, not the most presentable publication. To once again spit at your opponents and show that they are nobody.
