The US commander-in-chief was forced to recant on national television over comments made on the future of NHS health services on Tuesday after sparking ire from UK politicians.
US president Donald Trump caused an uproar on social media after telling the outgoing UK Prime Minister that Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) could be privatised by US companies after Brexit.
First the Ambassador, now Trump himself declares our NHS up for grabs by US private health giants in a trade deal.
One terrifying consequence following a No Deal Brexit – which potential Tory PMs advocate.

President Trump left for the UK coastal city of Portsmouth on Wednesday for the 75th anniversary commemoration of D-Day, the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France and the largest sea-based invasion in history, which took place on 6 June 1944. Tens of thousands of anti-Trump demonstrators took to the streets on Tuesday to rally against the US president’s policies, including NHS privatisation, wars against Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, and China, as well as his stance on environmental issues, amongst others.
