AMMAN, Jordan — Donald Trump was “wrong” to retweet videos from an extreme right-wing group depicting Muslims as violent and dangerous, and the U.K. is not “afraid” to say so, Prime Minister Theresa May said Thursday.

Repeating in person the severe diplomatic rebuke of the U.S. president that was issued by Downing Street on Wednesday, May said she was “very clear” that Trump’s decision to endorse Britain First on Twitter was “the wrong thing to do.”

Speaking in Amman, Jordan, where she is concluding a tour of Middle Eastern states, May said Britain First is a “hateful organization” that stands in “fundamental opposition” to “common British decency.”

May also addressed Trump’s criticism of her, after he responded to Downing Street’s initial condemnation by tweeting directly at the Prime Minister, telling her not to “focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism [sic] that is taking place within the United Kingdom.”

The Prime Minister said she was “very clear about the priority that I give to dealing with the challenge of the threat of terrorism…from whatever source.”

Citing, U.S./UK collaboration in combatting terror groups in Iraq, the first stop on her Middle East tour, May said: “I was very pleased yesterday in Iraq to see the work we are doing with allies and the U.S. in particular to counter the threat from terrorism, and the success we have had in doing that."

“The invitation of a state visit has been extended and accepted. We have yet to set a date" — Theresa May

“The fact that we work together does not mean that we are afraid to say when we think the United States have 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.”

She added: “British Muslims are peaceful and law-abiding people who have themselves been the victims of acts of terror by the far-right. There are those who conduct acts of terror in the name of Islam but it is not in the name of Islam.”

Asked if she would sack one of her own ministers for promoting far-right propaganda, May laughed and replied: “I have absolute confidence my own cabinet ministers would not be retweeting Britain First.”

But she stressed that Britain’s relationship with America will endure, and made clear there is no plan to rescind the state visit extended to President Trump at the White House back in January.

“Let me be clear about the relationship between the U.K. and the U.S.,” she said.

“This is a long term special relationship that we have. It is an enduring relationship because it is in both of our national interests for that relationship to be there. And as PM I am clear that that relationship with the U.S. should continue."

“The invitation of a state visit has been extended and accepted. We have yet to set a date.”

Her former chief of staff Nick Timothy defended May on Twitter: "[Theresa May] has spent her career fighting terrorism and extremism. Doing so requires a bit more sophistication than retweeting fascists."
