2:55 a.m.
The White House press secretary is offering reassurance that President Donald Trump “likes and respects” British Prime Minister Theresa May “very much” following an interview in which he said she was ruining what her country stands to gain from Brexit.
Trump also told The Sun newspaper that May’s “soft” blueprint for the U.K.’s future dealings with the European Union would probably “kill” any future trade deals with the United States. The interview was published Thursday as Trump was leaving a black-tie gala hosted by May.
