A key Donald Trump ally has accused Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron of 'panda hugging' China and 'lecturing' Americans.

Elbridge Colby, a front-runner to be chosen a Trump's national security adviser, also said he would rather work with Labour than the Conservatives, accusing the former Prime Minister of 'foreign interference' in US politics over funding Ukraine.

But Mr Colby, who worked in the US defence department when Trump was president, met with shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy, as Sir Keir Starmer ploughs ahead with schmoozing Trump allies.

The Trump ally has been critical of the $61billion aid package that the US Congress approved last month in the face of criticism from many Republican congressmen and women.

Lord Cameron and the UK Government approved of the funding and the Foreign Secretary visited congress and Trump at his home in Mar-a-Lago before the vote.
