Theresa May: The world has transformed
Theresa May has said Britain's vote to leave the European Union and the election of Donald Trump have transformed the world in a year. The Independent reports.
In a major foreign policy speech at the annual Lord Mayor's Banquet in London, May said "change is in the air" and "it's the job of politicians to respond."
And she warned that governments must heed people's concerns about the impact of globalization on jobs and communities.
The Prime Minister mentioned that Brexit will allow London to make use of the globalization opportunities and to establish new ties with the old partners.
She drew together the EU referendum result and Donald Trump’s shock victory, saying: “We meet tonight in a world transformed. A year ago, few among us would have predicted the events ahead."
