PressTV-UK: Trump lied Cameron invited him: The office of British Prime Minister David Cameron has denied a claim by US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump that he had been invited for a visit to the UK.

"It's long-standing practice for the prime minister to meet with the Republican and Democrat presidential nominees if they visit the UK. Given the parties have yet to choose their nominees, there are no confirmed dates for this," said a 10 Downing Street statement on Friday.

Trump told MSNBC’s Morning Joe earlier the day that “he (Cameron) would like me now to visit 10 Downing Street. They put out that invitation about two days ago.”

The New York businessman’s remarks come as he has previously suggested that he might not have “a very good relationship” with Cameron if elected.

In an interview with ITV's "Good Morning Britain" on Monday, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee also slammed Cameron for calling his proposed ban temporarily barring Muslims from the US “divisive, stupid and wrong,” referring to Cameron’s December remarks.
