Theresa May will bring this up with Trump, says MSNBC

Two people poisoned by same nerve agent used on ex-spy, police say

Theresa May calls 2nd poisoning in U.K. ‘deeply disturbing’

All the world's a stage for Trump for next 11 days

President Donald Trump, a political impresario and disrupter, is never happier than when holding the world in thrall. 

But the next 11 days -- when he is expected to enlist a new Supreme Court pick, the British Queen and the Russian President as supporting actors in his melodrama -- could be extreme even by his standards.

. . . .

Trump's spin in the spotlight begins Thursday with a four-day countdown to his unveiling of a Supreme Court pick who is likely to enshrine a conservative majority on the nation's highest bench for decades into the future.

After basking in the certain accolades of his conservative base, Trump will turn his eyes to the NATO summit in Brussels, Belgium, which is shaping up as one of the most pivotal meetings in the alliance's history.

From there, Trump will head to Britain for his long-delayed visit, which is likely to include an eye-catching photo-op with Queen Elizabeth II that will match perhaps the world's ultimate symbol of duty, continuity and convention with the most unpredictable, protocol-busting US leader in history.

At the end of Trump's barnstorming 11 days comes his summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Finland, an encounter that will unleash new speculation about his baffling relationship with the Kremlin strongman and -- depending on how things go at NATO -- could cast new clouds over the destiny of West.
