Within minutes of meeting Theresa May, Donald Trump was paying homage to a second British prime minister also present in the Oval Office: “It’s a great honor to have Winston Churchill back.”
Installed in the president’s office by George W. Bush and then removed by Barack Obama, the bronze bust of Churchill was returned by Trump to a place of prominence in the White House: under a portrait of George Washington. In front of the Conservative hero, May and Trump shook hands, she in Republican red to match his signature red tie.
