Fox News host Laura Ingraham criticized President Trump Donald John TrumpBiden on Trump's refusal to commit to peaceful transfer of power: 'What country are we in?' Romney: 'Unthinkable and unacceptable' to not commit to peaceful transition of power Two Louisville police officers shot amid Breonna Taylor grand jury protests MORE on Friday for his controversial interview with the British tabloid The Sun.

Ingraham said that the interview, in which Trump railed against immigration in Europe and critiqued Prime Minister Theresa May and London Mayor Sadiq Khan, was a “ridiculous mistake.”

“If someone comes to our country, a foreign leader, and criticizes our president or our policies, we don’t much like that in the United States and I think Donald Trump doesn’t like that,” Ingraham said while speaking with former GOP Speaker Newt Gingrich (Ga.).

“When we had previous Mexican presidents doing that about our immigration, I know I hit him hard on the radio,” she added. “It doesn’t feel right. Going giving that interview to The Sun, it was a ridiculous mistake.”

“But he clarified and he apologized for it,” Ingraham noted.

Gingrich agreed that The Sun interview was a mistake and that Trump was probably “embarrassed” by the interview, but still praised Trump for other successes during his trip to the NATO summit in Brussels and his U.K. visit.

Trump’s interview with The Sun sparked immediate backlash from British lawmakers, who called him a “racist” and accused him of disrespecting the country.

The president attempted to walk back some of his comments criticizing May's Brexit strategy, calling the interview "fake news" and claiming that The Sun did not quote him in full. The tabloid released an audio recording of the interview that supported their reporting.

“Whatever you’re going to do is OK with us,” he later told May during a news conference.
