UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has canceled a trip to the US planned for next month after a furious phone call from President Donald Trump in which Trump slammed down the phone on the prime minister.


Looks like Dumb and Dumber 3 is cancelled...

trump had good reasons it seems.

quoted from the original post referenced article:

The call last month, which one source described to the Financial Times as "very difficult," came after Johnson defied Trump and allowed the Chinese telecom company Huawei the rights to develop the UK's 5G network.

Johnson backed Huawei despite multiple threats by Trump and his allies that the US would withdraw security cooperation with the UK if the deal went ahead. The US fears that Huawei's technology could have backdoors for the Chinese government.




Huawei was just indicted. US calls Huawei and CFO Meng Wanzhou national-security threats, indicts company and exec on fraud and IP theft charges

You mean treating our allies like garbage might have resulted in a reduction in our soft power? Crazy!

Perhaps read and try to understand the specific subject before starting a thread and making generalizations?

I understand the subject perfectly, thank you. I have also seen the erosion of American soft power under the current administration. They are not totally independent issues.

So in the end two complete potatoes will not have the chance to trade tales about how they are screwing up their respective countries in person. How sad.

Huawei is a big enough problem that even Nancy Pelosi is all over the Europeans about it.
