WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump "scolded" British Prime Minister Theresa May during a telephone conversation while on board his presidential plane, according to US press reports.
The newspaper "The Washington Post" that Mai contacted the US president to congratulate him on the outcome of the midterm elections last week, noting that Trump was on his way to Paris to mark the centenary of the end of the First World War.
Trump used the opportunity to scold Mai. "Do not do enough to restrain Iran," he said in a strong tone.
He also asked her about the latest British exit from the EU and complained that US trade deals with European countries were "unfair."
The Washington Post, quoting officials familiar with the communication, said May's aides said they were surprised by the president's sharp tone.
The British prime minister was the first foreign leader to visit Trump at the White House after taking office.
The relationship between Mai and Trump Mada and Jazra, especially after his visit to the United Kingdom last July, questioned Mae's plans for the EU pullout. "You did not listen to me," he said.
