Boris Johnson asked Donald Trump to"reconsider the U.S. position" and force the wife of an American diplomat who is a suspect in a fatal road crash to return to Britain.
Sacoolas should"return to the U.K., cooperate with police and allow Harry’s family to receive justice," Downing Street said Johnson told Trump.Trump said it was"a complex issue ... because we are talking about diplomatic immunity," according to remarks issued by the White House. He added:"We are going to speak to her [Sacoolas] very shortly and see if we can do something. It was an accident. It was a terrible accident ... We are going to speak to her and see what we can come up with, so that there can be healing. There is anger over it. It is a terrible incident. I understand the anger from the other side."
