LONDON: Donald Trump, the US President, is a controversial president, says the UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt. US President reached the United Kingdom on a three-day official visit on Monday. He attended a state banquet hosted by Queen Elizabeth II at the Buckingham Palace on Monday evening.

‘Of course, he’s a very controversial president but he’s is also a great friend of Britain. He’s been a great supporter of Britain in our post-Brexit context and we work very closely with America throughout the world, so this a celebration of our present relationship as well as what’s happened in the past,’ Hunt defended his comment.

‘We don’t agree with everything Trump says or does. We don’t agree with his approach to climate change or the Iran nuclear deal, I’ve disagreed with him on the NHS (National Health Service) before. But that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the fact that this is one of the most important alliances in history,’ he clarified.
