Boris Johnson looks to avoid damaging Trump meeting during NATO gathering

Speaking to reporters early Tuesday alongside Jens Stoltenberg, NATO’s secretary general, Trump stayed away from the upcoming vote.

“It’s going to be a very important election for this great country,” he said. “But I have no thoughts on it.”

Later, he added: “I stay out of it — I think Boris is very capable and will do a good job.”

A survey in the U.K. from Nov. 2018 to Nov. 2019 found 67 percent of people have a negative opinion of Trump, according to the international polling firm YouGov in London.
