Donald Trump said that he told Charlie Kirk he could become president one day.
Discussing the right-wing influencer, who was shot dead at a college campus on 11 September, the president said the 31-year-old was a “great American” who was killed for “speaking his mind”.
Mr Trump, speaking at a press conference in Britain with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on Thursday (18 September), said: “I told him ‘Charlie, you have a good shot someday at being president.’”
He went on to thank the “many British citizens who have offered their condolences” following Mr Kirk’s murder, and said that he hopes the UK and US can come together to “lead a movement to defend the glorious traditions of freedom”.
