The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
President Obama and Gordon Brown share “a terrific relationship”, according to the Prime Minister’s spokesperson.
The spokesperson said Downing Street agreed with the White House in labeling claims that President Obama snubbed the Prime Minister as “totally absurd”, and also reiterated President Obama’s comment that the pair share “a terrific relationship”.
The spokesperson said:
“They will be spending time together in New York and at the G20. As you’d expect in a summit of this nature…there’ll be numerous calls between Downing Street and the White House.
“We said all along the meeting situation was fluid but the Prime Minister and President Obama were going to be together… and we expected them to have the opportunity to meet, which is what happened.”
