Theresa May is like Donald Trump’s ‘long lost’ sister, US congressman Kevin Cramer declares after her speech in Philadelphia
North Dakota Congressman Kevin Cramer said that after hearing the Prime Minister's speech last night, he thought she had a lot of similarities with the new US President
THERESA May and Donald Trump have so much in common that a US Congressman has labelled her his "long lost sister".
North Dakota Congressman Kevin Cramer said today that after hearing the Prime Minister's speech last night, he thought she had a lot of similarities with the new US President.
Mr Cramer told Radio 4 he thought the pair shared values of patriotism and security.
He said: "As I watching her and listening to her, I thought 'is this Donald Trump's long lost sister?
"There was real similarities while at the same time, clearly a different take on certain global issues but at the same time, a great respect for nationalism and patriotism and certainly national security."
Ahead of Mrs May's historic visit with the new US president, he said he thinks there is "the makings of a very good relationship" between the two.
Mrs May has said she hoped it will be a case of “opposites attract” in her first big test on the world stage.
She will hold talks with President Trump in the Oval Office later today, before a joint press conference with US journalists. They will then continue their conversations over a working lunch.

He told Radio 4 this morning: “it has to be in the British national interest that we intervene in these countries or an ally that is asking for help.”
