David Cameron has met with Donald Trump despite previously describing him as “divisive, stupid and wrong”, Paralel.Az reports citing Huffpost.

The foreign secretary held talks with the former president as he tries to boost Republican support for Ukraine.

Trump, who will be his party’s presidential candidate in November, has previously said he could end the Russia-Ukraine war “within 24 hours”.

But experts have condemned the plan, which they say would see Kyiv forced to make major concessions to Vladimir Putin in return for an end to the conflict.

Cameron met with Trump overnight at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida before heading to Washington for talks with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.

Ahead of the meeting, a Foreign Office spokesman said: “It is standard practice for ministers to meet with opposition candidates as part of their routine international engagement.”
