May has offered, at the EU summit in Malta, to act as a bridge between the EU and the USA. However as Dalia Grybauskaite, the Lithuanian President, told the BBC:
"I don't think there is a necessity for a bridge - we communicate with the Americans on Twitter." --snip--- Ms May arrived in the Maltese capital carrying the message from Mr Trump that Europe must increase its defence spending in return for his "100 per cent" commitment to Nato. But other EU leaders view the American leader with horror because of his hostility to the EU, his protectionism and controversial policies, such as the travel ban from seven mainly Muslim countries. The European parliament's main political parties have called for Mr Trump's likely choice as ambassador to the EU to be blocked from its buildings after he said the EU needed "taming". And, earlier this week, Donald Tusk, the President of the European Council, included the US President as a "threat" facing the bloc, along with China, Russia and radical Islam.

Well done Trump. You are now up there with "China, Russia and radical Islam" as a threat to the EU... Index of Frank's Diaries
