After getting rebuked by Donald Trump, Prime Minister Theresa May said publicly in a news conference that U.S. president was wrong to post on social media unverified posts by a far-right anti-Muslim British activist.

“I’m very clear that retweeting from Britain First was the wrong thing to do,” May said after a speech in Amman, the Jordanian capital where she was bombarded with questions on her relationship with Trump. “Britain First is a hateful organization, it seeks to spread division and distrust amongst our communities.”
