Theresa May: US and Europe must keep up pressure on Russia

Theresa May has said the US and Europe are “united” in condemning atrocities in Syria and has warned Russia of the possibility of more sanctions.

The UK PM met outgoing US President Barack Obama, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and four other European leaders in Berlin for talks.

Mr Obama urged them to work with his successor Donald Trump on the basis of shared “core values”.

The PM also told Mrs Merkel that the UK’s Brexit plans were “on track”.

It came as the Supreme Court confirmed that Scotland and Wales’s top legal advisers would be allowed to take part in an appeal hearing brought by the UK government against a ruling that it alone cannot trigger Article 50 – the formal process of leaving the EU – without a vote by MPs.

But BBC correspondent Jenny Hill said there were a number of issues on the agenda that took precedence over Brexit, including Syria, Russia’s relationship with the West, international terrorism and climate change.

In a joint press conference with Chancellor Merkel on Friday, Mrs May said: “On Syria, looking at Aleppo, we are united in our condemnation of the atrocities that are taking place there.

“We agree on the need to keep up the pressure on Russia, including the possibility of sanctions on those who breach international humanitarian law.”

US President-elect Mr Trump has criticised Nato and has spoken of his hopes of warmer relations between the US and Russia – but on Thursday Mr Obama warned him to stand up to Moscow if it deviated from US values.

  1. Donald Trump will realize soon enough that he can’t do ‘business’ with Putin.

    Trump a businessman, Putin a former KGB agent – this combination is doomed to fail – be a disaster.

        Neither of those ‘pursuits’ in life is ‘religious’ in nature … if they make the right ‘deals’, it can work for a little time … maybe even be enduable for a generation. 😉

            I sort of enjoyed the next ‘news-chat’ with the Pharo-aonic-Languge guy vs the history person with Arabic … although time-lines are a bit messy … he has a point. 😉

            “The Zionist movement developed against the background of events in Palestine/Israel and influenced those events. This account of Zionism is meant to be read together with the brief history of Israel and Palestine and History of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict since the Oslo Accords.
            Likewise, the Labor Zionist movement was a major force in the early implementation of Zionism, and therefore the history of Zionism cannot be intelligible without understanding the history of Labor Zionism.

            ‘INFECTIONS’ are simply everywhere … ‘Commies’ are too ….
            SEE a largely ignored ‘Green Party’ near you …

            “Toronto Star: Liberals approve controversial natural gas project on B.C. coast
            The Guardian: Environmentalists ‘expected better’ of Trudeau as Canada backs gas project
            Bloomberg: Trudeau clears path for Canada to approve Kinder Morgan pipeline
            A decision on the expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline is reported to be imminent. Media sources and Liberal leaks seem coordinated to create the impression of inevitability. Given the Liberal government’s recent approval of two major natural gas projects — Woodfibre and Pacific NorthWest, as well as the destructive and unnecessary Site C Dam, I can guess which way they’re leaning.
            Do not wait until this decision is made. There’s still time change the tide on the Kinder Morgan pipeline and tanker scheme.”

          8. I’m not familiar with what Canada’s environmentalists expect from Trudeau, we are on another path, solar and wind power.

            Our Bündnis 90/Die Grünen (Grüne) gives me headache, in 1998 we had the first red-green coalition government at the federal level between the Alliance ’90 / The Greens and the SPD…..

            You probably heard about Cem Özdemir (co-chairman of the German political party Alliance ’90/The Greens), Özdemir and his Green Party support the accession of Turkey to the European Union……

            When Özdemir criticised Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey in a speech he delivered in Cologne in May 2014, Erdoğan personally targeted Özdemir during one of his party’s group meetings in the parliament declaring him “a so-called Turk” and described his criticisms as “very ugly.”.
            Upon Erdoğan’s attacks, the Turkish ambassador in Berlin, Hüseyin Avni Karslıoğlu, was summoned to the German Foreign Office and was informed about Germany’s unease on the prime minister’s remarks.

            Özdemir advocates legalizing cannabis…. (he should open a coffee shop in Amsterdam…)
            In December 2014, his parliamentary immunity from prosecution was lifted when Berlin prosecutors opened an investigation into suspected growing of drugs after an Ice Bucket Challenge video showed him with a cannabis plant in the background.

            You must admit that cannabis is green. ‘Good feelings’ are not really all bad.
            It’s the ‘man-mades’ that are killing the folks much more quickly, lately. (also in news)
            Hind is right .. can’t mix Oranges & Scotch.
            But I DO agree with German ways on the Solar – even if some think it’s ugly on the rooves. Or think a windmill makes too much noise a mile offshore…
            Problem there is perceptions. Can’t see radiation, or a few other pollutants.

    Finally, Russians and Americans have found common ground. We both agree that Obama is a “Schmoe”.
