President Trump intervened to chide a reporter who asked Prime Minister Boris Johnson a question about calls for his resignation during a Tuesday press conference on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. “That was a very nasty question from a great American reporter,” Trump said, after a Reuters reporter asked how Johnson felt about calls for his resignation over a Supreme Court ruling that called his suspension of Parliament unlawful. Despite Trump jumping to his defense, Johnson appeared to stick up for the reporter. “I think he was asking a question, to be fair, that a lot of British reporters would have asked,” Johnson said.
When Boris Johnson was asked how he responded to calls for his resignation after the Supreme Court ruled the suspension of parliament was unlawful, Donald Trump accused the reporter of asking "a very nasty question".
