The US president was reacting to agreements announced after Sir Keir met Chinese President Xi Jinping as part of a three-day trip aimed at resetting relations between the UK and China.
The agreements are aimed at increasing business and investment between the two countries.
“Well it’s very dangerous for them to do that,” Trump said at the premiere of a documentary about his wife Melania when asked what he thought of Britain increasing business ties with China.The comment comes after Sir Keir said the UK’s relationship with China was in a “good, strong place” following his meeting with Xi at the Great Hall of the People on Thursday.
Sir Keir said on Friday that the “very good meetings” with Xi provided “just the level of engagement that we hoped for”.
“We warmly engaged and made some real progress, actually, because the UK has got a huge amount to offer,” he told a meeting of the UK-China Business Forum at the Bank of China in Beijing.
So far several things have come out of Sir Keir’s trip including an agreement on visa-free travel and lower whisky tariffs, as well as a £10.9bn investment by AstraZeneca to build manufacturing facilities in China.
Agreements on further co-operation in other areas such as organised crime and illegal immigration were also announced.
