LONDON, July 15 — British Prime Minister Theresa May thinks the language used by US President Donald Trump in a series of tweets yesterday about a group of mostly American-born Democratic congresswomen was "completely unacceptable", her spokesman said today.

Trump yesterday told the group to "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came", a comment that was condemned by Democrats as racist.

"The prime minister's view is that the language used to refer to these women was completely unacceptable," the spokesman said. — Reuters
