Trump spent his two days in London lashing out at allies and creating new rifts, but host Boris Johnson avoided the worst of the flak by limiting his interaction with the president.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will be breathing a sigh of relief this week despite a fractious visit from President Donald Trump and his fellow NATO leaders.
