After coming under criticism from lawmakers in her own party for not condemning his executive order when initially questioned, Prime Minister Theresa May said Britain does not agree with U.S. President Donald Trump's curbs on immigration.

May — who had flown to Turkey from the United States where she was the first foreign leader to meet the new U.S. president for talks she called successful — replied that Washington is responsible for its policy on refugees.
