Donald Trump has claimed that England is not a 'safe place' in the wake of the Brussels terrorist attacks.

Mr Trump said Europe had 'very, very severe' problems with terrorism and that it needed better law enforcement. The property mogul spoke out after saying that, were he to become President, he would make America's allies pay for the 'cloak of protection' the US offers.
