U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May will respond to Donald Trump’s U.S. election victory with a speech that eases some of her past anti-business rhetoric and tells supporters of economic liberalization and free trade that they have to listen to those who think such forces have more downsides than benefits.
At the Mansion House in London on Monday evening, May will give her first major speech on foreign policy since taking office in July. It will also be her first analysis of Trump’s victory last week. According to extracts released by her office, she’ll argue that “change is in the air” and that it is the job of politicians to respond to voters who are unhappy with shifts in society.
