London November 30 (RHC-Agencies) -- U.S. President Donald Trump sparked outrage in Britain’s political establishment on Thursday with a sharp rebuke of Prime Minister Theresa May on Twitter after she criticized him for retweeting British far-right anti-Islam videos.

As British politicians lined up to condemn Trump for sharing videos originally posted by a leader of a British far-right fringe group, Trump, in an unprecedented attack on one of Washington’s closest allies, replied with an unrepentant message.

“Theresa @theresamay, don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine,” he tweeted.

His response caused anger in Britain, where there have been several major Islamist militant attacks this year, with one minister describing Trump’s tweets as “alarming and despairing”.

London’s mayor, a Muslim, said May should withdraw an offer of a state visit to Britain which has already been extended.
