Before touching his plane down in the U.K., President Trump gave an interview to The Sun newspaper, where he took direct aim at May. Trump said that he had told Theresa May how to handle the U.K.'s exit from the European Union but that she, quote, "didn't listen" to him and that her handling of Brexit has been "very unfortunate" - his words. He also said one of her political rivals, former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, would make a great prime minister. And he criticized the U.K.'s handling of immigration and terrorism. This has set high expectations for the meeting between these two leaders. Here's London's mayor, Sadiq Khan, talking to Mary Louise Kelly of All Things Considered.
