In an interview with a UK tabloid, Trump said Brexit negotiations were "too slow," but denied criticizing May.
In the wide-ranging interview with British tabloid The Sun, Trump also slammed London Mayor Sadiq Khan over claims of rising crimes in the capital, and suggested that former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson would be a good prime minister.
Trump also said that if May's Brexit plans included sticking to EU rules it could prevent a US-UK trade deal. "If they do a deal like that, we would be dealing with the European Union instead of dealing with the UK, so it will probably kill the deal," Trump said, adding that, "We have enough difficulty with the European Union."
Many Brexit supporters used the opportunity for the UK to negotiate its own trade agreements as the basis for their call to leave the EU.
Trump took pains Friday to praise May and reaffirm his belief in the special relationship between the US and the UK
He also met Britain's Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle on Friday but the 92-year-old monarch was forced at one point to walk around the U.S. president after he halted abruptly during a ceremonial inspection of the guard.

I really pity him today. The backlash was too much. I think he might start watching his mouth to avoid what is happening to him in London now in future visits to other countries
