In the wake of comments by Trump and his administration expressing scepticism bordering on hostility about the effectiveness of Nato, Cameron cautioned: “We should treasure Nato, not undermine it. We won’t make American great by making eastern Europe weaker again.”

On Monday, in remarks that reportedly drew laughter and applause from the audience, Cameron weighed in on the row between Trump and almost everyone else – British spy agency GCHQ, the FBI and Barack Obama himself among them – over whether the president was, as he claimed without evidence, “wire-tapped” by his predecessor.
There was one plus point of his departure from politics, Cameron – who was previously labelled “a dummy” by the then Apprentice host – joked: “I don’t have to listen any more to the wiretaps of Donald Trump’s conversations.”

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi joked to President Trump during an Oval Office meeting on Monday afternoon that his country was not involved in the alleged wiretapping of the GOP candidate's campaign last fall.
A reporter asked Trump about "wiretaps" that the president has claimed his predecessor ordered. Trump did not respond to the question, but al-Abadi chirped in.
"We had nothing to do with the wiretap," al-Abadi said, grabbing Trump's arm as he made the joke.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
