“Donald Trump has fired a Twitter broadside at Theresa May, representing an extraordinary diplomatic spat between the allies.
“Theresa @theresamay, don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!”
The US president’s message was a response to criticism from May’s spokesman over his retweeting of anti-Muslim videos posted by the deputy leader of a British far-right group.
However, the “@theresamay” that Trump targeted does not belong to Theresa May, the British prime minister, but a woman called Theresa Scrivener. Minutes later Trump deleted and reposted the tweet, this time with the correct handle: @Theresa_May.
The feud marks a new, unexpected twist in the “special relationship” that has witnessed close ties between leaders such as Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt, Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, and Tony Blair and George W Bush.
May was the first foreign leader to visit Trump after he took office – they were photographed holding hands at the White House – and invited him on a state visit to Britain. But that has yet to take place after a series of controversies and warnings that protesters will take to the streets to show he is not welcome.”
