Donald Trump has claimed that England is not a 'safe place' in the wake of the Brussels terrorist attacks.
The leading Republican Presidential candidate said that England was among the countries which have become 'weak' and cannot protect themselves.
Mr Trump said Europe had 'very, very severe' problems with terrorism and that it needed better law enforcement. The property mogul spoke out after saying that, were he to become President, he would make America's allies pay for the 'cloak of protection' the US offers.
In his most detailed comments on foreign policy yet, the billionaire said that he was sick of America being 'ripped off' by its allies.
Mr Trump's comments on Britain risk a backlash similar to that he received in December when he claimed that police in London were 'afraid for their own lives' because some areas of the capital are so radicalised. Speaking to ABC News, Mr Trump was asked it he would feel safe travelling to Europe after the Brussels attacks by IS terrorists, which left at least 31 dead and 340 injured. He said: 'I don't think America is a safe place for Americans, if you want to know the truth.
I don't think Bruss - England or I don't think that Europe is a safe place. No, I don't. I think there are a lot of problems in Europe that are very, very severe.
