Donald Trump has warned that he may not have a “very good relationship” withDavid Cameron after the prime minister branded his proposal to ban Muslims from the US as “stupid”.
The US presidential hopeful also sniped at the new London mayor, Sadiq Khan, calling him “ignorant” for comments he made after being elected and warning him: “I will remember those statements.”
The presumptive Republican nominee, who is likely to go against Hillary Clinton in a bid for the White House in November, was speaking to Piers Morgan on ITV’s Good Morning Britain.
On being elected as London mayor, Khan said Trump was “ignorant” in his views on Islam and he risked harming security on both sides of the Atlantic.
Trump said: “He doesn’t know me, hasn’t met me, doesn’t know what I’m all about. I think they were very rude statements and frankly tell him I will remember those statements. They are very nasty statements.”
The Republican was also likely to disappoint Cameron with his continued support for the campaign for Britain to leave the EU.
In the interview broadcast on Monday morning, Trump attacked the prime minister’s comments on his ‘Muslim ban’, which he had called “divisive, stupid and wrong”.
Trump said: “It looks like we’re not going to have a very good relationship.“I hope to have a good relationship with him, but it sounds like he’s not willing to address the problem either.”(Staff and agencies)
