UK’s May calls on Trump to advance peace plans
During a phone call today, Theresa May tells Donald Trump to advance plans for reaching a Middle East peace deal in the wake of his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, Reuters reports.
“They discussed the different positions we took on the recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, and agreed on the importance of the US bringing forward new proposals for peace and the international community supporting these efforts,” a spokesman for the British prime minister says.
May has expressed her opposition to Trump’s declaration on the holy city.
