YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBoris Johnson has claimed the US is a “bastion of peace and freedom” amid ongoing protests following the killing of George Floyd by police.
The Prime Minister refused to condemn President Trump’s actions in the wake of Mr Floyd’s death on May 25, but did say the incident was “absolutely appalling.”
During Prime Minister’s Questions, SNP MP Kirsty Blackman said: “The response of the US President to the death of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement has been horrendous.
“Can the Prime Minister confirm to me if he still believes Trump has ‘many many good qualities’, and if so, what are they?”
Mr Johnson responded: “I renew what I have said many times and it is important for the House to hear it again.
“Yes, black lives matter, and yes, the death of George Floyd was absolutely appalling.
“As for the qualities of Mr Trump, let me say, amongst many other things, he is President of the United States, which is our most important ally in the world today.
“And whatever people may say about it, whatever those on the left may say about it, the United States is a bastion of peace and freedom and has been for most of my lifetime.”
Ms Blackman’s question referred to comments made by the PM about his American counterpart’s leadership record after he was asked how he would persuade Mr Trump to take tougher action against global warming.
