Nicola Sturgeon tells Theresa May not to fawn on US President – but admits she may meet him herself

NICOLA STURGEON called on Theresa May yesterday to wind back the “red carpet treatment” for Donald Trump but admitted she may meet the US president herself.

The First Minister said she was “glad that the president appeared to U-turn” on his policy of separating migrant children from their parents, but she stressed that “we've all got to be careful not to just assume that the situation now is OK.”

At First Minister’s Questions, she had been asked by SNP MSP Ruth Maguire whether the president’s forthcoming visit to Britain was appropriate amid the outrage over migrant family separations.
