TRUMP CRITICISES UK PM, LONDON MAYOR

Donald Trump says if he becomes US President he may not have a good relationship with UK Prime Minister David Cameron.

It follows Mr Cameron calling Mr Trump 'stupid, divisive and wrong' for suggesting Muslims be barred from the US.

Donald Trump has also told UK media that comments by new Mayor of London Sadiq Khan that the presumptive Republican nominee is 'ignorant', were 'very nasty statements'.

If Donald Trump does become US President, it therefore raises the prospect of him being at odds with two of Britain's most senior politicians.

According to prosecution, Besigye while in various places declared himself president for having won the February 18th polls.

 

He has been remanded until 25th May when he re-appears before court for further mention of the case.
