by Itunuoluwa Adebo

Prime Minister Theresa May refused to comment Wednesday whether she had full confidence in US President Donald Trump in the wake of reports that he shared top secret intelligence with Russia, instead stressing that Britain and the United States have “a very special relationship” and would definitely work together.

According to CNN, revelations that President Trump reportedly disclosed highly sensitive information to Russia in a meeting last week have raised questions among allies about the security of details they share with their US counterparts.

The White House would not comment on claims Israel was the source. But Tuesday, it insisted that Trump did not risk national security by sharing classified information with top Russian officials and that the President did not even know the source of the intelligence he divulged.

May was asked at an election campaign press conference if Trump had her “full confidence,” she said, “We have a very special relationship, as you know, with the United States of America. This is the most important defence and security relationship that we have around the world.”
