A spokesman for May in November rebuked Trump, saying he was “wrong” to have shared the videos, prompting Trump to lash back at the prime minister. A Downing Street spokesperson described the call as warm and said the pair discussed Trump’s recent decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, to which the UK was opposed. They also discussed the dire humanitarian situation in Yemen and the ongoing Brexit negotiations. A White House official, who was not authorised to discuss the call on the record, said the tweets did not come up during their call.
