  Trump was "wrong" to retweet controversial anti-Muslim videos associated with a far-right British group on Twitter, UK Prime Minister Theresa May's spokesman said. The Downing Street statement said Britain First sought to divide communities through its use of "hateful narratives which peddle lies and stoke tensions". "It is wrong for the president to have done this," the spokesperson said. However, Downing Street said plans for a state visit by the US president remain in place. The statement came soon after Britain's Opposition leader, Jeremy Corbyn, branded Trump's tweets "abhorrent and dangerous".
