By Melina Delkic President Trump and Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain at 10 Downing Street in London on Tuesday. Doug Mills/The New York Times Trump urges Britain to leave the E.U. Today, on his final day in Britain, President Trump is expected to attend commemorations for D-Day in Portsmouth, England. He will then head to another commemoration in France with President Emmanuel Macron. Mr. Trump made waves yesterday when he said that he believed that [Britain could now leave the E.U.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRe2dHqP0TAaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wNi8wNC93b3JsZC9ldXJvcGUvYnJleGl0LXRydW1wLXRoZXJlc2EtbWF5Lmh0bWw_YWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrJm1vZHVsZT1Ub3AlMjBTdG9yaWVzJnBndHlwZT1Ib21lcGFnZSZ0ZT0xJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfTUJFX3BfMjAxOTA2MDUmc2VjdGlvbj10b3BOZXdzVwNueXRCCgAd6kz3XOc_rvJSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~), even if it failed to make a deal with Brussels by the Oct. 31 deadline. Mr. Trump dangled the prospect of a “phenomenal” trade deal with the U.S. if Britain breaks from the bloc. He said “everything will be on the table” in negotiations for such a deal, including opening Britain’s public health system to American competitors — an assertion that caused an uproar and which he later walked back. Here’s [our fact check of Mr. Trump’s claims](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRe2dHqP0SLaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wNi8wNC91cy9wb2xpdGljcy90cnVtcC1sb25kb24tZmFjdGNoZWNrLmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJmVtYz1lZGl0X01CRV9wXzIwMTkwNjA1JnNlY3Rpb249dG9wTmV3c1cDbnl0QgoAHepM91znP67yUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). Protests: Many in Britain saw the president as an opportunist trying to pursue a trade deal that would benefit the U.S. Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the opposition Labour Party, spoke to anti-Trump demonstrators, condemning his war of words with London’s mayor as well as the trade deal he described. The turnout at protests was lower than anticipated. Other stops: Mr. Trump [also met with Nigel Farage](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRe2dHqP0SOaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wNi8wNC93b3JsZC9ldXJvcGUvdHJ1bXAtbG9uZG9uLXRoZXJlc2EtbWF5Lmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJmVtYz1lZGl0X01CRV9wXzIwMTkwNjA1JnNlY3Rpb249dG9wTmV3c1cDbnl0QgoAHepM91znP67yUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), a major critic of Mrs. May. Boris Johnson, the former foreign secretary whom Mr. Trump has endorsed to be Mrs. May’s successor, declined a one-on-one meeting, but he spoke with Mr. Trump by phone. Republicans rebuke U.S. tariffs against Mexico As Mr. Trump was in London, [Republicans issued a strong rebuke](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRe2dHqP0SPaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wNi8wNC91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9yZXB1YmxpY2Fucy1tZXhpY28tdGFyaWZmcy5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9NQkVfcF8yMDE5MDYwNSZzZWN0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3NXA255dEIKAB3qTPdc5z-u8lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) to his plan for tariffs on Mexico, just hours after the president said lawmakers would be “foolish” to try to stop him. Mr. Trump’s latest threat — 5 percent tariffs on all goods until the Mexican government stems the flow of migrants into the U.S. — has riled Republican senators who fear its impact on the economy and their home states. Mexico’s foreign minister is leading a delegation to Washington this week to try to defuse the situation with the Trump administration. The tariffs are set to take effect on Monday.

Protesters demanding the ouster of Prime Minister Andrej Babis in Prague on Tuesday. Michal Cizek/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images Prague protesters struggle for country’s soul As many as 120,000 people gathered in the heart of Prague [for the sixth week to protest corruption](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRe2dHqP0SNaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wNi8wNC93b3JsZC9ldXJvcGUvY3plY2gtcmVwdWJsaWMtcHJvdGVzdHMuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfTUJFX3BfMjAxOTA2MDUmc2VjdGlvbj10b3BOZXdzVwNueXRCCgAd6kz3XOc_rvJSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). It’s one of Prague’s largest demonstrations since 1989, and in the same spot where three decades ago crowds gathered to wrest freedom from Communist rule. It started six weeks ago as a relatively contained protest over the appointment of a justice minister many believe will protect Prime Minister Andrej Babis from potential fraud charges. Now, it has grown into something broader and possibly harder to control. Context: Mr. Babis has been dogged by accusations of corruption for years, but the recent protests began in April, shortly after the police recommended that he face fraud charges in connection with a European Union subsidy to finance construction of a resort near Prague called the Stork’s Nest. Under the Czech system, only the state’s prosecutor, who is appointed by the justice minister, can file charges. Reminder: A European Commission audit last week found that the prime minister’s impartiality was compromised. Mr. Babis’s company, Agrofert, has benefited from European Union funds. In April, an event organized by the far-right leader Rasmus Paludan provoked violent protests in Copenhagen. Mads Claus Rasmussen/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images Denmark elections show unusual division In the maelstrom of European politics, Denmark is usually fairly quiet, routinely ranking among the world’s happiest, wealthiest and most egalitarian nations. But the national elections scheduled for Wednesday have shaken the country from any complacency, as two very different issues are roiling the political landscape: [climate change and immigration](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRe2dHqP0SaaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wNi8wNC93b3JsZC9ldXJvcGUvZGVubWFyay1lbGVjdGlvbi1jbGltYXRlLWltbWlncmF0aW9uLmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJmVtYz1lZGl0X01CRV9wXzIwMTkwNjA1JnNlY3Rpb249dG9wTmV3c1cDbnl0QgoAHepM91znP67yUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). In recent elections, the right-wing Danish People’s Party has won power by taking a hard line on immigration. The left-leaning Social Democrats have taken a pummeling, and their leader has moved her party to the right on immigration to win back working-class voters — while also trying to keep up with the green wave influencing the younger electorate. Numbers: Four years ago, climate change barely registered as an election concern in Denmark. But in a nation that juts into the North and Baltic Seas, [polls now show that 46 percent](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRe2dHqP0SgaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYWx0aW5nZXQuZGsvYXJ0aWtlbC9ueS1tYWFsaW5nLWRlbi1ncm9lbm5lLWRhZ3NvcmRlbi10YWdlci1lbi1zdXZlcmFlbi1mb2Vyc3RlcGxhZHM_dGU9MSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJmVtYz1lZGl0X01CRV9wXzIwMTkwNjA1JnNlY3Rpb249dG9wTmV3c1cDbnl0QgoAHepM91znP67yUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) of voters rank climate change as their top concern, compared with 27 percent in 2017.
