Network Take: The UK Meltdown over Trump Tweets

WASHINGTON, DC – APRIL 12: U.S. President Donald Trump holds a news conference with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in the East Room of the White House April 12, 2017 in Washington, DC. Trump reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to the North Atlantic alliance and its “ironclad” pledge to defend NATO allies, even though he repeatedly questioned the relevance of the military organization during the campaign.

The fallout continued Thursday over President Donald Trump’s retweeting of anti-Islam videos originally posted by a British far-right fringe group. British Prime Minister Theresa May, on a foreign trip to Jordan, told reporters that “retweeting from Britain First was the wrong thing to do,” Reuters reported.

Cipher Brief experts weighed in on the possible long-term fallout on the U.S.-U.K. “special relationship.”
