Sir Keir Starmer awkwardly stepped in to defend his 'friend' Sir Sadiq Khan today after Donald Trump branded the London mayor a 'nasty person'.
The Prime Minister attempted to intervene as the US President ranted about Sir Sadiq at his Trump Turnberry golf resort in Ayrshire, Scotland.
Speaking to reporters as he and Sir Keir sat down for their meeting this afternoon, Mr Trump was asked if he would visit London during his next trip to the UK.
The US President is due to return to Britain in September for an unprecedented second state visit, following his 2019 visit during his first spell in the White House.
Mr Trump replied: 'I will. I'm not a fan of your mayor. I think he's done a terrible job, the mayor of London… a nasty person.'
