02:01UN: Theresa May defends Brexit, lambasts Russia over 'sickening' Salisbury attack
British Prime Minister Theresa May defended her country’s decision to leave the European Union during her address at the UN General Assembly in New York City on Wednesday.
“The vote by the British people to leave the European Union was not a rejection of multilateralism or international cooperation. It was a clear demand for decisions and accountability to lie closer to home,” May said.
May also singled out Moscow for its alleged use of a “toxic nerve agent in a sickening attack on the streets of Salisbury,” and noted that this prompted the expulsion of over 150 Russian intelligence officers from the UK.
