Boris Johnson will appear on Donald Trump's favourite television show in an effort to speak directly to the US president amid fears he will scrap the Iran nuclear deal. The foreign secretary is on a two-day visit to Washington where he is mounting last-ditch efforts to save the international agreement, which has eased sanctions on Tehran in exchange for curbs on its nuclear programme. Mr Trump has been highly critical of the nuclear deal, describing it as "disastrous" and the "worst ever", and has given Britain and its allies until Saturday to fix the agreement, which he believes is too lenient.

Dunblane Primary School massacre survivor wants to tell Donald Trump ‘he is wrong on guns’
A survivor of the Dunblane Primary School massacre has said she wants to meet United States president Donald Trump in a bid to “make him see he is wrong on guns”. Aimie Adam, 27, said she hoped the billionaire president does come to Scotland when he visits the UK in July, as she wants to meet him. She was shot twice by gunman Thomas Hamilton as he opened fire on a class of primary one pupils at Dunblane Primary in 1996, killing 16 children and their teacher.

Why Donald Trump should be invited to the Durham Miners Gala
I suggest that organisers of the Durham Miners Gala could do worse than invite US President Donald Trump to this year’s event. After all, he’s in the country at the time meeting the Queen and his various right-wing sycophants which, although agreeable to his monstrous ego, might lack in the ‘fun’ department. And I suspect Trump might turn up if the Durham Miners’ Association were to give him a call and broach their offer correctly. All they would have to tell him is he is the first ever US President they have invited as the rigorous selection procedure is based on very strict levels of health and humility. And, as Trump by his own admission is the healthiest US President there has ever been, and let’s not forget the most humble, how could he refuse? If he did turn up he would of course be guaranteed to give the best speech anyone has ever heard there so it’s a win-win situation for all. And, unlike his inauguration as President in Washington, I … [Read more...] about Why Donald Trump should be invited to the Durham Miners Gala
Donald Trump branded a ‘disgrace’ for claiming knife crime turned London hospital into a ‘war zone’
Donald Trump’s claims that knife violence left a London hospital looking like a “war zone” have been branded a “disgrace” by MPs. The US President made the comments at a pro-gun rally, where he sought to justify gun ownership by comparing his own country's record to a surge in knife crime in London at the start of the year. Opponents accused him of sensationalising the issue in his speech to the National Rifle Association (NRA), where he said an unnamed London hospital was "like a war zone for horrible stabbing wounds" with "blood all over the floors". Read more Trump says London hospital 'a warzone' for stabbing victims The row comes ahead of Mr Trump's official visit to the UK in July, which was postponed earlier this year amid fears over large-scale protests over the President's divisive agenda.

Donald Trump UK visit date confirmed as July 13
Donald Trump’s first presidential visit to Britain has been officially pencilled in for 13 July, Downing Street has confirmed. The long-awaited visit — following months of speculation — is expected to be a “working visit” rather than a full-blown state occasion and will coincide with Theresa May’s second anniversary as Prime Minister. Announcing the contentious plans, Sir Kim Darroch, the the UK’s ambassador to the US, said he was “delighted” that Mr Trump will visit the UK.
