British PM sweetens White House visit with Bakewell tarts

We don’t know what Theresa May really thinks of Donald Trump but the two of them got along like a house on fire Friday at the White House. On the plane over the Atlantic May seemed to slip slightly with a jocular comment that opposites attract. We will never know what that really means. But with a decorated china cup and a box of Bakewell tarts in hand as gifts, the British Prime Minister began a historic political gambit. The two leaders agreed that the UK and the US do indeed have a “special relationship” and are going to get along well.
