Donald Trump says Europe and Britain are now unsafe after the recent terror attacks

USA: Donald Trump has declared Britain and Europe unsafe after the recent terror attacks.

Speaking five days after the Brussels bombings which killed at least 31 people, he said Europe had lots of "very, very severe" problems.

And he said that he did not even think America was a safe place for Americans.

The US Republican presidential front-runner told ABC: "I don't think Bruss - England or I don't think that Europe is a safe place. No, I don't. I think there are a lot of problems in Europe that are very, very severe.

"When you look at Brussels, when you look at the way they've handled things from law enforcement standpoints, when you look at Paris, when you look at so many other places, no, it's not (safe)".

The comments made by the billionaire businessman were echoed by John Kerry, the US secretary of state, who told CBS's Face The Nation that US citizens should "avoid a crowded place" if they were travelling Europe, because "you have no control over who may be there".

In December Mr Trump was mocked by Britons for his comments on "no-go" areas in London, when he claimed that some areas of the capital were "so radicalised that the police are afraid for their own lives".
