British Prime Minister Theresa May defended the U.K.'s response to President Trump's retweeting of anti-Muslim videos posted by a leader of an ultranationalist British group, saying the country is not afraid to push back on the U.S.
"The fact that we work together does not mean that we're afraid to say when we think the United States has got it wrong, and to be very clear with them. And I'm very clear that retweeting from Britain First was the wrong thing to do," May said to applause in Amman, Jordan on Thursday.
