Will meet Trump despite his dangerous views on Muslims:Cameron

May 22, 2016 19:11

British Prime Minister David Cameron on Sudnay said he would be very happy to meet Donald Trump if the controversial presumptive Republican presidential nominee were to travel to the UK despite his "dangerous" views on Muslims.

Cameron was being interviewed by British television channel ITV's 'Peston on Sunday' show when he was asked if he would meet Trump, 69.

"I don't know. American presidential candidates have made a habit of coming through Europe and through the UK, and if that happens I'd be very happy to," Cameron, 49, said.

But he repeated his claim that Trump's proposal for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the US is wrong.

"It's a very dangerous thing to say... as well as a divisive and wrong one," he said.

"I don't withdraw in any way what I said about the policy of not letting Muslims in to America. I do think that is wrong and divisive.

"We've got to demonstrate that what we're up against here is a very small minority of a minority, Islamist extremists, that want to divide our societies, and we've got to explain that there are billions of people in our world who are devout Muslims but who believe in liberal democracy and all the things we believe in," Cameron said.
