BREXIT/BRITAIN/ELECTION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “U.S. President Donald Trump said he intends to run for re-election in 2020 because ‘everybody wants me to’ and there are no Democratic candidates who could defeat him, the Mail on Sunday newspaper reported…Before leaving Britain for a summit in Finland with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump breached British royal protocol by publicly disclosing the details of a conversation he had with Queen Elizabeth about the complexities of Brexit…During an uproarious trip to Europe, Trump has harangued members of the NATO military alliance, scolded Germany for its dependence on Russian energy, and shocked Britain by publicly criticizing Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit strategy. Trump later apologized to May for the furor over his withering public critique, blaming ‘fake news’ and promising instead a bilateral trade agreement with Britain after it leaves the European Union in March 2019.”
