Johnson urges Trump not to get involved in British election

US president will visit London next week for NATO meeting; elections are scheduled for December 12

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Friday that it would be better for US President Donald Trump not to be involved in the British election when he visits London for the Atlantic Treaty Organization summit. North (NATO) next week. "What we traditionally do not do, as dear allies and friends, is to get involved in each other's election campaigns," said Johnson, whose Conservative Party leads opinion polls before the December 12 general election.

Major polls show that Johnson's conservatives are expected to win around 359 seats in Parliament, giving the party a comfortable majority. Analysts predict a conservative victory will give Johnson more chances to approve his Brexit plan - as the process of removing the United Kingdom from the European Union is known - in the British Parliament by the end of January.

President Jair Bolsonaro went through a similar situation about a month ago. On October 29, Bolsonaro said in an interview supporting the then Uruguayan presidential candidate Luis Lacalle Pou. The Uruguayan  rejected the support two days later, saying that interference by foreign leaders in other countries " is not a good thing."
