LEAK: UK GOVT HAS NO STRATEGY ON BREXIT

A leaked memo claims the UK government doesn't yet have a strategy for Brexit negotiations, and is unlikely to form one for months.

The document was written by an un-named consultant for Britain's Cabinet Office and also claims divisions in the cabinet are behind the lack of an overall plan.

Downing Street has responded, saying it 'didn't recognise' the claims made in the memo, which has been obtained by the Times newspaper.

It came after Theresa May made her first major foreign policy speech as Prime Minister at the Lord Mayor's banquet - and insisted there are opportunities ahead.

Obama: Trump will honour NATO commitment & will inherit nation in better shape than 8 years ago

President Obama says that President-elect Donald Trump is committed to NATO.

On the campaign trail Mr Trump was often critical of the decades-old alliance - going so far as to call it obsolete.

But speaking ahead of his last trip to Europe as President, Barack Obama told reporters that during their meeting last week Mr Trump had signalled he would not be throwing it out.

IN: "he expressed"
OUT: "commitment to NATO"

President Obama has told reporters he thinks President-elect Donald Trump is pragmatic and not driven by ideology.  In a White House news conference, the President described his recent meeting with Trump as very cordial.  He said it was impressive that Trump was able to energize such a large group of disgruntled voters in the presidential campaign but he sidestepped questions about prior comments he made that Trump is "temperamentally unfit" for the office.   
Obama said things would be easier for his successor as the nation is indisputably in better shape than it was when he assumed office eight years ago.
