The United States of America President Donald Trump and the United Kingdom Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the opposition Labour Party got involved in a verbal spat on Twitter.
The collision resulted from the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s decision to suspend the British Parliament just days after MPs return to work in September – and only a few weeks before the Brexit deadline.
Trump expressed satisfaction with Johnson’s decision. Writing on Twitter, Trump said:
Would be very hard for Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of Britain’s Labour Party, to seek a no-confidence vote against New Prime Minister Boris Johnson, especially in light of the fact that Boris is exactly what the U.K. has been looking for, and will prove to be “a great one!” Love U.K.
In response, Corbyn said that Trump is elated because the US has found a compliant puppet in Johnson. He wrote:
I think what the US president is saying, is that Boris Johnson is exactly what he has been looking for, a compliant Prime Minister who will hand Britain’s public services and protections over to US corporations in a free trade deal.
