George Osborne: We will talk to Donald Trump

George Osborne and David Cameron "will talk" to Donald Trump because it is "in our interest to talk to our allies", the chancellor has said.

The Chancellors comments come after Donald Trump warned David Cameron that the two may not have a good relationship if Mr Trump becomes the next US president.

The US Republican presidential hopeful was responding to comments Mr Cameron made last year over Mr Trump's proposal to ban Muslims from entering the US.

Chancellor George Osborne said he and David Cameron stood by their comments in response to Mr Trump's views on Muslims.

But he added: "But he is an American presidential candidate and we will talk to him because it is in our interest to talk to our allies like the United States."
