Trump says Boris Johnson will not resign
The US president indicated that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has a great determination to move forward with Brexit
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said his “friend” Boris Johnson will not resign, despite the judicial coup he received Tuesday.
Trump and Johnson held a meeting within the framework of the 74th General Assembly of the United Nations to discuss issues of bilateral interest such as the post Brexit relationship, especially the commercial one, or Iran.
The premier reacted from the annual appointment at the UN to the opinion issued hours before by the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, which concluded that the Government’s decision to close Parliament for five weeks is “illegal.”
“To be absolutely clear, I respect the Judicial Power of our country and I respect the Court but I deeply disagree with what they have said. I think it is totally correct to continue with this plan,” he replied regarding the call made by the Labor Party.
Trump reproached the journalist in question for asking that “unpleasant question” to Johnson and has decided to answer for him: “I tell you, I know him and he will not go anywhere. Don’t worry about him”.
In a further step, he revealed that when asked about the ruling, the European president simply indicated that “it is one more day at the office.” “He is a professional”, he said. Johnson said wryly that “tomorrow will be another day in Parliament”.
