British Prime Minister Theresa May steps down as Conservative Party, leader formally triggering the race for a successor who will try to deliver Brexit
British Prime Minister Theresa May arrives prior a ceremony at the Cathedral of Bayeux for the 75th anniversary of D-Day, Normandy, northwestern France, June 6, 2019.
Brexit is still scheduled for October 31 but while her rivals thrash it out, the project remains stuck, with the only divorce plan agreed with Brussels stuck in parliament. Eleven Conservative MPs are currently vying to replace her, including former foreign minister Boris Johnson, but some are expected to drop out before Monday's deadline for nominations.
His party made a strong showing in by-election for the British parliament in the eastern city of Peterborough on Thursday, but failed in its goal of winning its first MP. But Trump used the trip to speak with Johnson and other candidates to replace her, emphasising where the political power in Britain now lies.
Trump has been highly critical of May's Brexit strategy and ahead of his visit to Britain, urged her successor to leave the bloc with no deal if necessary.
