The following article by Maggie Haberman was posted on the New York Times website August 12, 2018:

Trump gives interview attacking May ahead of meeting

In the interview, Trump said May “had ignored his advice by opting for a soft Brexit strategy” and said any possible trade deal between the U.S. and U.K. would be wrecked by May’s strategy of keeping close ties to the EU.
