Cameron: I’ll work with Trump if elected US president

British Prime Minister David Cameron has said he would work with US presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump if elected.

Cameron made the remarks during an interview with ITV's "Good Morning Britain" on Friday when asked about his opinion on Trump and whether he could have an amicable relationship with the business mogul should he become president.

“Whoever wins that election, I’m sure the British Prime Minister will have a good relationship with them as we always have done… the special relationship is bigger than the individual involved, I’m sure that we’d find a way,” he said.

Asked about Trump's take on immigration law and his promise to ban Muslims from going to the United States, Cameron said such a policy is “dangerous and unfair.”

Cameron has previously said that barring Muslims from entering the US “is divisive, stupid and wrong.”

On Friday, he reiterated his comments, saying, “it would be a ‘dangerous’ policy because it would divide. It somehow tries to paint all Muslims with the brush of extremism which I think is unfair.”

He added that Trump has “already dropped that proposal because there are millions of Muslims living in America and making a great contribution to that country as there are well over a million British Muslims here making a fantastic contribution to our country.”

Trump is slated to visit Britain on June 24, the day after the European Union (EU) referendum is held on whether the UK should remain a member of the EU.

His business trip is apparently aimed at reopening a golf course he owns in Scotland, but the timing of the visit is significant.

On June 23, Britain will vote on Brexit a decision which will have far-reaching consequences for both the country and the bloc.

Trump has previously told "Good Morning Britain" that if he were the president, a Brexit would not hurt the UK in terms of trade relations with the US.
