Donald Trump talks about David Cameron on Friday. Trump: Cameron invited me to visit

David Cameron has invited Donald Trump to visit 10 Downing Street, the presumptive Republican nominee said Friday, days after the British prime minister lambasted his call to temporarily ban Muslims from the United States as "stupid, divisive and wrong." And Trump says he is "thinking about it."

Trump rejected the notion that he was "going after" Cameron on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," adding, "He came after me a little bit."


"He would like me now to visit 10 Downing Street," Trump said. "They put out that invitation about two days ago. I’ll do just fine with David Cameron. I think he’s a nice guy. I’ll do just fine. But they have asked me to visit 10 Downing Street. And I might do it."

In practice, the prime minister's office does not extend formal invitations to presidential nominees.

A spokesman for Number 10 told POLITICO, "It's long-standing practice for the PM to meet with the Republican and Democrat Presidential nominees if they visit the UK. Given the parties have yet to choose their nominees, there are no confirmed dates for this."

Co-host Joe Scarborough commented, "That's interesting. I thought I heard that you said we might not have good relations," a reference to an interview Trump gave to British TV personality Piers Morgan earlier this week in which he remarked that the two countries might not have a good relationship.

"Well, number one, I’m not stupid, OK? I can tell you that right now," Trump had said in response to Cameron. "Just the opposite. Number two, in terms of divisive, I don’t think I’m a divisive person. I’m a unifier, unlike our president now, I’m a unifier."

As for Cameron, Trump told Morgan, “Looks like we’re not going to have a very good relationship. Who knows?"

Trump walked back that remark on "Morning Joe," telling Scarborough, "We're going to have good relationships. We’ll have better relationships than we have now, but these countries won't be taking advantage of us."
