The U.S. needs to pay attention to its “treasured” relationship with Britain, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Monday after President Donald Trump cancelled an upcoming trip to London.
Trump’s reason for cancelling his trip was because of the old U.S. embassy in London, sold at 1.2 Billion dollars for what he considered as `peanut’.
However, the issue has raised questions in Britain over the relationship between Washington and its closest traditional ally in Europe.
The former Exxon Mobil CEO met British Prime Minister Theresa May in her Downing Street residence and then held talks with Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.
“We treasure this relationship, and I treasure Boris’s relationship with me personally and the work that we do together on these many issues.
“Sometimes we forget about the importance of our own relationship.
“We need to pay attention to that relationship and the importance of this relationship on a bilateral basis as well,” Tillerson told reporters. (Reuters/NAN)
