LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson spoke with President Donald Trump late on Tuesday, and said in response to a question on why he was avoiding being photographed with the U.S. leader that he would be photographed with all NATO leaders later.

 

Johnson, who is campaigning before a general election on Dec. 12, had asked Trump not to intervene in the campaign. The British media have suggested Johnson is trying to avoid being seen with Trump, who is unpopular in Britain.

 

“We had a very good meeting and we discussed the future of NATO, what is going on in Syria and various other security matters,” he told reporters on Wednesday.

 

Johnson, hosting a meeting of leaders from the military alliance, also met leaders of Germany, France and Turkey on Tuesday to discuss Syria, underlining he believed it was important for the U.S.-led military alliance to stick together.

Another photo with Trump wouldn't do much good for his campaign as Trump's approval rating in UK is in line with most of the rest of Europe amongst ordinary folk.

For me, more important is that Cornyn will not use the PM's stately home if he wins, he will let street dwellers use it...The bloke is daft.

Chequers belongs to the nation and should be taken care of for the nations future...

Wonder if he'll let street dwellers live in his very large nice second residence. In fact he could do that now. No need to wait.

 

Only he hasn't, and never will. Because he just another greedy rich self interested socialist hypocrite.
