British Prime Minister Teresa May expresses her dissatisfaction with US President Donald Trump because of leakage to the US media of confidential information about the terrorist attack in Manchester.

The conversation between the leaders of the two countries will be held at the NATO summit in Brussels on Thursday, May 25, writes The Guardian.

"The government does not believe that the president (Trump. - Red. ) Is directly responsible for potentially compromising leaks, but May will raise this issue at the NATO summit, where she will insist that the military alliance join the coalition against the Islamic state, "the newspaper reports..

According to journalists, after the publication in the newspaper The New York Times of photographs of parts of a bomb detonated in Manchester, British officials "were furious". They are sure that this will complicate the investigation.

The Guardian notes that the leak was probably due to the fault of US intelligence, which received data on the terrorist act within the framework of long-standing cooperation between London and Washington in the field of security.

"The pictures that were received from representatives of American security structures cause concern among families of victims and other members of the public. In this regard, protests were expressed at all appropriate levels between the British authorities and our American counterparts. This is unacceptable, "a source in the British government told the newspaper.

Also a leak of information was criticized in the British police.

"We highly appreciate the relationship that we have with our trusted intelligence agents, law enforcement agencies and security services around the world. But when this trust is violated, it undermines these relations and undermines our investigations and the trust of families of victims and witnesses.

This damage is even more significant when it involves the unauthorized disclosure of potential evidence within a major investigation into counter-terrorism activities, "the spokesman for the British National Police.

As reported by the "Observer", on the evening of May 22 at the stadium "Manchester Arena" during the performance of the singer Ariana Grande, two explosions were blown up.

22 people were killed, 59 were injured.

According to media reports, Salman Abedi returned from Libya a few days before the explosion.
