Trump ally likens BBC host to ‘kindergartener’ over tariffs query | News | EUROtoday

Donald Trump’s ally Sebastian Gorka in contrast the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire to a kindergartener throughout a heated interview.

The US president’s deputy assistant spoke to the Newsnight host after the Republican imposed tariffs on what he described as “Liberation Day,” together with a ten per cent tariff on US imports of UK items.

When requested what the UK should do to get the tariffs eliminated, Mr Gorka replied: “If you don’t discriminate against US goods, then the other partner… will not have their goods discriminated against.

“A kindergartner ought to be capable to get that.”

The pair later clashed, with Mr Gorka telling Ms Derbyshire: “Let me reply or you do not invite me in your present.”
