US media reports allege Trump passed ultra-sensitive classified information about the Islamic State group -- gleaned by a foreign intelligence partner -- to Russian diplomats during a meeting in the Oval Office.
The Washington Post said he described details about a plot involving laptop computers on airplanes, revealing where the information was gathered.
"We are all working together to deal with the threats that we face, the key threat of course being the threat of terrorism," both from IS and Al-Qaeda, May said.
