There is a chance the Labour Party leader will become prime minister after the U.K. election—and, unlike Conservative Party leader Boris Johnson, he is no friend of President Donald Trump.
President Donald Trump has made much of his love for the U.K. and stressed the importance of its partnership with the U.S. But this week's election in the U.K. may strain the sinews of the so-called"special relationship."a man Trump calls his friend
"Corbyn would be so bad for your country. He'd be so bad, he'd take you in such a bad way. He'd take you into such bad places," Trump said on the radio stationThe Labour leader responded swiftly on Twitter. Johnson has said repeatedly that the NHS is not on the table in trade talks with the U.S. After first suggesting that the NHS would be part of trade talks a few months ago, Trump in December recanted, saying that"we want nothing to do with it."
He spoke against hatred, such as racism and misogyny, and defended London Mayor Sadiq Khan against the president's attacks on the city's Muslim leader—blaming him for terror attacks—that were widely viewed as Islamophobic.At a press conference, a reporter asked Trump about Corbyn's presence at the protest against his state visit. Trump said he rejected Corbyn's attempt to meet him.
Two years ago, Corbyn made a speech to the U.N. in which he said Trump's"disgraceful Muslim ban and his anti-Mexican rhetoric have fuelled racist incitement and misogyny," and accused him of being a"threat to peace" that should"deeply trouble us all." "We've seen a similar phenomenon in the US since last week's presidential election as we saw after Brexit: an appalling rise in hate crime," Corbyn said."Saying anything to win a vote has consequences on the ground afterwards."
