US presidential hopeful Donald Trump says he has been asked to visit Downing Street – and expects to “do just fine” with Prime Minister David Cameron.
But No 10 said while it was traditional to meet US candidates visiting the UK, no invitations had been issued.
The PM previously called Trump’s proposal for a ban on Muslims entering the US “stupid, divisive and wrong”.
Last year Trump, who is now the presumptive Republican nominee for the presidential election, 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”.
In an interview with US news channel MSNBC, Trump said: “I will do just fine with David Cameron. I think he’s a nice guy. I will do just fine.”
He added: “But they have asked me to visit 10 Downing Street – and I might do it.”
Speaking on Friday, Trump said he had been invited to Downing Street two days ago, reports the BBC.
Downing Street said: “It’s long-standing practice for the PM to meet with the Republican and Democrat presidential nominees if they visit the UK.
“Given the parties have yet to choose their nominees, there are no confirmed dates for this.”
