Journalists asked Boris Johnson if he would like to apologise for with some of the less diplomatic comments he has directed at world leaders over the years following his first press conference with US Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday. Johnson was appointed Foreign Secretary by Theresa May, in a government reshuffle following Brexit. Johnson fronted the leave campaign which has been criticised with making misleading claims over government spending and immigration.
The US Secretary of State and newly appointed UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson held a press conference in London on Tuesday, following their meeting at Downing Street. The two politicians covered joint strategies abroad, specifically in Syria, in addition to discussing the implications of Brexit.
Leader of Conservative Party Theresa May spoke outside the Houses of Parliament in London, Wednesday, as she became the UK’s Prime Minister. May became the presumptive leader of the Tory Party after her final rival for the leadership, Andrea Leadsom, backed by many of the Eurosceptic MPs, withdrew from the leadership race on Monday. May was first elected as Member of Parliament of Maidenhead in 1997 and the UK's Home Secretary in 2010. She became Britain’s second female prime minister after Margaret Thatcher.
