00:00Your Labour Party colleague Sadiq Khan said at the weekend that he saw the
00:04inauguration of Donald Trump as part of a wave of resurgent fascism. Is that how
00:09you would describe the incoming Trump presidency?
00:11Well I welcome the election of Donald Trump. We look forward to working with
00:17Donald Trump at this tough geopolitical moment, recognising that 77 million
00:23people voted for Donald Trump. He got more votes from young people, African
00:28Americans, Latinos than the Republican Party have got for some considerable
00:33time. We have a special relationship with the United States. It doesn't matter who's
00:37in the White House or number 10 and we look forward to working with
00:41Donald Trump over the next four years.
