US presidential hopeful Donald Trump has warned he may not have a "very good relationship" with David Cameron. Donald Trump has warned he may not have a "very good relationship" with UK Prime Minister David Cameron if he wins the US presidency.
He was responding to the prime minister who called Mr Trump "stupid, divisive and wrong" over his call for Muslims to be banned from the US. Mr Cameron has called the Republican hopeful "stupid, divisive and wrong" over his call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the US.
Mr Trump told ITV's Good Morning Britain that he will remember Mayor of London Sadiq Khan's "very nasty statements" that he was "ignorant". Speaking on ITV, Mr Trump also said he would not forgive London Mayor Sadiq Khan for calling him "ignorant".
Mr Cameron and Mr Khan stand by their comments, their spokespeople said. Spokespeople for Mr Cameron and Mr Khan said they stood by their comments.
In December Mr Trump called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States after a Muslim couple, who were believed to have been radicalised, killed 14 people in San Bernadino. Last year, Mr Trump, who has beaten his rivals to become the presumptive Republican candidate, called for a temporary halt to all Muslims entering the US in the wake of the deadly terror attack in San Bernardino, California.
He said many Muslims nursed a "hatred" towards America and a ban should be in force "until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on".He said many Muslims nursed a "hatred" towards America and a ban should be in force "until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on".

Mr Khan, who is a Muslim, also warned last week that Mr Trump's "ignorant" views of Islam "could make both our countries less safe". He also criticised what he called the "very rude statements" made about him by Sadiq Khan - the first Muslim to be elected Mayor of London - after Mr Trump said suggested he would make an "exception" to the ban for the London mayor.
"It risks alienating mainstream Muslims around the world and plays in to the hands of the extremists," he said last Tuesday. Mr Khan dismissed Mr Trump's offer and accused the US presidential hopeful of holding "ignorant" views of Islam which "could make both our countries less safe" by playing in to the hands of extremists.
"Donald Trump and those around him think that western liberal values are incompatible with mainstream Islam - London has proved him wrong." Responding, Mr Trump told ITV: "I am offended, he doesn't know me. They are very rude statements. I think it's ignorant of him to say that."
In response, Mr Trump said: "I am offended, he doesn't know me. They are vey rude statements. He also challenged Mr Khan to an IQ test.
"I think it's ignorant of him to say that." But as the public spat between the two men continued, a spokesman for Mr Khan said US voters would reject Mr Trump's "ignorant, divisive and dangerous" views.
He said there were "no plans" to seek direct talks with Mr Trump and mocked his IQ challenge, saying: "Ignorance is not the same thing as lack of intelligence."
