Donald Trump has been "disrespectful" towards the prime minister and the UK, Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said.

His comments come after President Trump called Sir Kim Darroch, the UK ambassador to the US, "a very stupid guy" amid a row over leaked emails.

He went on to criticise Theresa May over Brexit, saying she had ignored his advice and gone her "own foolish way".

On Sunday emails revealed the ambassador had called the Trump administration "clumsy and inept".

Meanwhile, International Trade Secretary Liam Fox's scheduled meeting with the US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in the US was cancelled on Tuesday.


Mr Hunt responded to Mr Trump's latest outburst by tweeting: "Friends speak frankly so I will: these comments are disrespectful and wrong to our prime minister and my country."

2. What the UK ambassador said was,all true ...

3. Good. He shouldn't just get away with this bullsh*t.

He has a lot of nerve extending his idiotic criticisms to Great Britain, saying who he wants them to pick for prime minister, pretending he knows better how to solve the Brexit problem (which he probably doesn't even understand!), and completely dissing their current leader.

He does not deserve their civility, and it looks like he has finally crossed the line.
