The president has previously been criticised for voicing his opinions of British political leaders, including Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn.

In October the president criticised Mr Johnson’s Brexit deal with the EU, saying it restricted the US’s ability to do future trade with the UK.

The US president also took aim at Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, saying he would be “so bad” as prime minister.
