Trump 'slammed the phone down' on Boris Johnson after an 'apoplectic' call with the prime minister
Trump's fury was triggered by Johnson backing Huawei despite multiple threats by Trump and his allies that the United States would withdraw security co-operation with the UK if the deal went ahead., with Johnson frustrated at the president's failure to suggest any alternatives to the deal.
The official UK account of the call gives a hint of the disagreement, stating that "the Prime Minister underlined the importance of like-minded countries working together to diversify the market and break the dominance of a small number of companies."that Johnson has pushed his planned trip to Washington, which was due to take place imminently, back until March and it "may be pushed back still further.
"And that is no fault of the people, that's no fault of individual consumers. I am afraid it is the politicians who are failing to lead."
