GB News' regular broadcast was interrupted for a breaking Donald Trump alert after the US President denounced Europe as a "decaying group of weak" nations. Professor David Dunn from the University of Birmingham called the US an "unreliable ally" after Trump's remark on peace negotiations over Ukraine, as he criticised European nations for not pressing Ukraine to give up land to Russia on today's show. 

GB News host Nana Akua said to the professor: "I particularly found it interesting that he didn't shy away from criticising Europe. Do you think he is right in this assessment?" He replied: "I think the timing is important on these comments on Europe... It's not normally the way allies talk to each other."

Dunn added: "This Trump administration has a very topsy-turvy approach to the world where he criticises his main trading allies, and criticises his long historical partners and NATO and gives other people a complete pass."

The comments follow the President's suggestion that the US could scale back its support for Ukraine.

In an interview with Politico, he said "decaying" European countries had failed to take decisive action to end the war between Ukraine and Russia and control migration.

The British government rejected Trump's claim that Europe failed to act, reiterating support for the US-led peace process.

When asked if leaders he viewed as weak could remain as allies, Trump said: "It depends. I think they're weak, but I also think that they want to be so politically correct. I think they don't know what to do."

Addressing whether Europe could help end the Russia-Ukraine war, Trump said: "They talk but they don't produce. And the war just keeps going on and on."
