LONDON. – Donald Trump says he has been invited to visit Downing Street and expects to “do just fine” with David Cameron. The presumptive US Republican presidential candidate did not give details, but said he |”might do it”. Mr Cameron previously called him “stupid, divisive and wrong” for proposing a temporary ban on Muslims entering the US. Number 10 said it was “long-standing practice” for the PM to meet candidates visiting the UK.
But a spokeswoman added: “Given the parties have yet to choose their nominees, there are no confirmed dates for this.” Last year, Mr Trump said many Muslims nursed a “hatred” towards America and a ban should be in force “until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on”.
Responding to the comments at the time, Mr Cameron said: “I think his remarks are divisive, stupid and wrong and I think if he came to visit our country I think it’d unite us all against him.” Downing Street has since said the PM stands by his criticism of, but will work with whoever is elected US president.
In an interview with US news channel MSNBC, Mr Trump said: “I will do just fine with David Cameron. I think he’s a nice guy. I will do just fine.” He added: “But they have asked me to visit 10 Downing Street – and I might do it.”
Speaking on Friday, Mr Trump said he had been invited to Downing Street two days ago. – BBC.
