UK: Boris Johnson to have minimal contact with Donald Trump during UK visit amid
fears it could harm Tories (Telegraph)
- Boris Johnson will keep his contact with Donald Trump to a minimum during his
two-day stay in the UK amid fears the US President could have a negative effect
on the Tories' election chances. The White House said no formal bilateral
meetings between the two men had been planned during a Nato 70th anniversary
summit, even though Britain is hosting the event. Downing Street sources said
there was a need to "balance" the high-level summit with the general election,
meaning meetings would be kept low key. With the Tories' lead over Labour
currently narrowing in the polls, Mr Johnson is keen to avoid doing anything
that could help Jeremy Corbyn.
