ARCHBISHOP of Canterbury Justin Welby yesterday branded Donald Trump’s views “completely unacceptable” — but said he would still shake his hand.

The Church of England leader said he struggled to understand why evangelical Christians strongly support the US President.

He told ITV’s Peston on Sunday if he met him at a state dinner he would still be polite.

He said: “I’ve spent years and years involved in conflict stuff around the world where I met people who had killed many, many people.

“Part of the job is to meet people you disagree with and to testify of the love of Christ to them and to seek to draw them into a different way.

“The odds are, it would be unlikely I’d do more than shake hands.”
