katty: he couldn't have waded into a more sensitive domestic political issue at a more sensitive time thane did today. president trump was fiercely critical in tt sunnterview of the way that theresa may has tions d the brexit negot and also said that if she went ahead with a new plan she's just unveiled for brexit then america wouldn't be able to sign a trade deal with the united kingdom. this isn't just being ruledyo t host when you turn up for dinner. this that itraditional imply stations for the prime minister. there have been times during this week we didn't know if theresa may was going to rvive to remain prime minister. so for the president to furment put her in a position whe her leadership, her government and brexit plan are in jeopardy was really remarkable in the complex of wading into another country's domestic politics. they then had this press conference, which can best be described as a kind of makean nice c operation but there are conservative members of theresa may's own parliament who looked at that sun interview and one in particular that i'm thinking of who before t
