But it was Johnsons decision not to schedule one a week before an election that will decide whether he remains in power, according to people familiar with the matter.
Before Trump traveled to London on Monday, members of Johnson's team notified the White House that there would be no formal meeting given the Dec. 12 U.K. election, these people said. They said the message from the British was that now is not the time for a meeting with Trump, who is deeply unpopular in the U.K.
Johnsons political calculation marks a hiccup in a relationship the White House had billed as so close it would pay policy dividends on multiple fronts and more tightly align the two countries. It also underscores the delicate balance world leaders try to strike when it comes to Trump.
even Boris Johnson didn't want to see him.

(313 posts)The Right Stuff is a great movie. And there are some great strong performances of what many might consider true American values.
This scene features Ed Harris as Astronaut John Glenn, sticking up for his wife Annie Glenn when she doesn't want Vice-President Johnson to visit (for a p.r. possibility).
If you watch, stick to the end to see Johnson's reaction, and imagine Trump as the same.
