President Donald Trump derailed Mike Johnson’s historic speech in front of the U.K. Parliament with a fresh series of taunts against the longtime ally even as his speaker pledged to ease tensions.
Johnson became the first-ever sitting House Speaker to address Britain’s Parliament in London on Tuesday morning, as part of a long-scheduled visit to commemorate 250 years since American independence from the U.K.
But even before Johnson took the stand in front of MPs in the House of Commons, his speech was overshadowed by Trump’s repeated threats to seize Greenland and his claim that the U.K.’s handover of Chagos Islands sovereignty to Mauritius was an act of “great stupidity.”
