US Ambassador to Britain Woody Johnson on Wednesday rowed back on President Donald Trump's comment that Britain was in"turmoil"because of Brexit-linked political upheaval.
Asked on BBC radio about Trump's comments ahead of his trip to Britain, he said:"There's always turmoil in every country but no, no, I think the UK is proceeding as it always does. It's a very confident country, it's a very capable country. We're extremely confident in the ability of the UK to plough through this issue with Brexit and move on,"he said.
