Trump calls out 'nasty' British politician in awkward meeting with the Prime Minister

In case you missed it, Donald Trump has taken a break from important goings on in the US to visit the opening of a new golf course in Scotland.

The US president has had a tumultuous few months back in the Oval Office, with memorable moments including the infamous trade tariffs, huge riots in LA and, of course, the bombing of Iran.

The 79-year-old isn't the most popular man in the UK, with protests for his visit expected to be far bigger than when he last visited during his first presidential term.

And while he was able to meet with Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland, his speech was somewhat humorously drowned out by the sound of bagpipes, in a similar vibe to Rishi Sunak's election speech being outshined by the sounds of 'things can only get better' last year.

You can watch that moment below:

Trump decided to take aim at London mayor Sadiq Khan during his meeting with Starmer, after he was asked if he had any plans to visit the capital during a state visit to the UK later this year.

He replied: "I'm not a fan of your mayor. I think he's done a terrible job, the mayor of London... a nasty person."

Starmer then intervened, saying: "He's a friend of mine, actually."

Khan's media team came up with a far-better retort, while also including a powerful statement on immigration, with the 79-year-old republican cracking down on what he calls illegal immigration in the US.

Hundreds of people have already been deported to one of the world's worst prisons in El Salvador, thousands of living people were officially classified as dead and a travel ban was imposed on a wide range of countries, particularly from Africa and Asia.

A mayoral spokesperson said Sir Sadiq was 'delighted that President Trump wants to come to the greatest city in the world'.

"He'd see how our diversity makes us stronger not weaker; richer, not poorer," the spokesperson added.

"Perhaps these are the reasons why a record number of Americans have applied for British citizenship under his presidency."

However, it seems as if the 'special relationship' between the US and the UK shows no signs of stopping, with Trump complimentary of his English counterpart following the meeting.

Of the Prime Minister, Trump said: "Any time we needed help, any time we needed any form of support, you've been there. We appreciate it very much, and we're going to continue onward."
