David Cameron has promised to work with Donald Trump if he becomes US president.

The Prime Minister said he would “find a way” to get on good terms with the presumptive Republican Party nominee because transatlantic ties are “bigger than the individuals involved”.

Mr Trump is due to visit Britain the day after the European Union referendum to reopen a golf course he owns in Scotland.

The PM claimed the billionaire had dropped a proposal to discriminate against Muslims at US border checkpoints – which Mr Cameron had previously described as “divisive, stupid and wrong”.

Downing Street previously resisted calls to ban Mr Trump from the UK on account of allegations the policy was extremist in nature.

Mr Cameron said he stood by his comments on Mr Trump's proposal of banning Muslims from traveling to the US, and said he would be happy to meet whoever the president turned out to be.

“The good news is, my understanding is, he's already dropped that proposal because there are millions of Muslims living in America and making a great contribution to that country as there are well over a million British Muslims here making a fantastic contribution to our country, so that proposal's been dropped which I think is the right thing to do,” Mr Cameron told ITV’s Good Morning Britain programme.

“But look, I will await the outcome of the US election, I won't get involved in any way. Whoever wins that election, I'm sure the British Prime Minister will have a good relationship with them as we always have done and of course if candidates come through the UK during the campaigning season, as they have done in past years and I've met them, whether I was leader of the opposition or Prime Minister, [I'm] happy to do so again.

“The special relationship is bigger than the individuals involved, I'm sure that we'd find a way.”

Mr Trump last month claimed he had been invited to Downing Street to visit the Prime Minister, a statement Number 10 denied.

However, were Mr Trump to visit Britain after July’s Republican nominating convention it would be protocol for a visiting candidate to meet the Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition.

Mr Trump has now secured enough pledged delegates to secure him the Republican party's presidential candidacy and has spent the last few weeks collecting endorsements from high-profile politicians in his party.
