British PM David Cameron stands by ‘divisive, stupid and wrong’ comment on Trump

 

British Prime Minister David Cameron has reaffirmed his criticism and description of Donald Trump’s call for a  ban on Muslims entering the United States as “divisive, stupid and wrong”, a spokesman said on Monday.


“The prime minister has made his views on Donald Trump’s comments very clear. He disagrees with them,” the spokesman said.

“He continues to believe that preventing Muslims from entering the US is divisive, stupid and wrong. He stands by his comments.”

Asked who Cameron would prefer to be the next president, the spokesman said he would not comment on another country’s election but said the British leader had been clear he would work with whoever won.

“He is committed to maintaining the special relationship,” he said.

The spokesman said no meeting or call between Cameron and Republican candidate Trump was currently planned, but if one were proposed the prime minister would consider it.
