VERHOFSTADT: TRUMP IS 'ENEMY' OF EU

The European Parliament's lead negotiator on Brexit says US President Donald Trump is an 'enemy' of the EU, and more of a threat to the bloc than the UK leaving.

Guy Verhofstadt says the EU needs to become a proper United States of Europe in response to the Trump Presidency and other global challenges.

President Trump has said Britain made the right decision leaving the EU and suggested other countries should do the same.

Mr Verhofstadt says it's reasonable to classify Donald Trump as an 'enemy'.

'CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS' AS TRUMP FIRES ACTING A.G.

The White House is accusing acting US attorney general Sally Yates of 'betrayal' as she's sacked for questioning the legality of Donald Trump's immigration restrictions.

Sally Yates had instructed justice department lawyers not to enforce the presidential order which temporarily bans nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries.

President Trump moved quickly to fire her after she wrote a letter saying she was 'not convinced' the move was lawful.

PROTESTS ACROSS UK AT TRUMP IMMIGRATION POLICY

Protests against Donald Trump's new immigration restrictions have been held in cities across the UK.

British Parliamentarians have also held an emergency debate on the issue - after over 1.5 million (update as required) signed an online petition against a planned state visit to the UK by President Trump.

Prime Minister Theresa May says the invitation to Mr Trump to make a state visit later this year won't be withdrawn.

The UK government says it disagrees with the new US restrictions on immigration from a series of predominantly Muslim countries.

But it also says it's secured exemptions from the policy for UK nationals and passport holders.
