As the summit concluded, journalists were keen to ask Mr Johnson about the footage that had wounded Mr Trump so deeply. The Prime Minister, however, appeared mystified. “I don’t know where that’s come from,” he replied with a frown of bemusement, when a journalist suggested that he didn’t take Mr Trump seriously.
Several other questions were asked about Mr Trump, but the Prime Minister seemed strangely reluctant to talk about him. When asked whether he thought Mr Trump was a force for good in the world, he talked instead about the importance of the United States in general.
When asked whether he thought Mr Trump was either “an amnesiac or a liar”, he said the question was “extraneous to our dealings here today”. I hope the President won’t take this the wrong way. He is, as we know, a sensitive soul.
