0:33Now PlayingPresident Trump says he will "stay out of the election" during a visit to the U.K. to mark NATO's 70th anniversary #GeneralElection19.
There was a lot of speculation on whether Trump would see Johnson one-to-one. In his first bilateral in London, the U.S. president said he would meet with the U.K. leader without giving any more details on when and how. He also steered clear of weighing in on the U.K. election on Dec. 12: “I dont’ want to complicate it.” Trump is a divisive figure among the U.K. electorate. Every time he’s visited he’s been met with protests. Therefore, his opinion on a preferred outcome has an effect on voters.
The U.K. is hosting NATO leaders to mark the military alliance’s 70th anniversary. The timing is delicate as tensions abound among the allies. Trump has been a frequent critic of NATO and now so is France’s Emmanuel Macron. The meeting is taking place in the shadow of a terror attack in London and the closing stages of a charged U.K. election that will decide whether Boris Johnson stays on as prime minister.
