Donald Trump appeared to shatter hopes that his recent state visit to Britain had been a success, after he launched into an unprecedented attack on the UK.
Speaking at the United Nations, President Trump condemned the decline of both Britain and Europe, but singled out Sir Keir Starmer’s government for particular attack.
The US president warned that Britain’s immigration policy, and its “suicidal energy” policy “will be the death of western Europe if something is not done immediately.”
He has recently made a number of public criticisms of Ed Miliband’s energy policy, insisting that Britain gets drilling in the North Sea to take advantage of the oil gold mine under Scotland’s feet.
Mr Trump also told European attendees that “Your countries are going to hell” amid a sharp rise in foreign criminals populating their jails.
This is a breaking news story. More to come…
