Donald Trump claims that he canceled an interview with Pierce Morgan because of the intervention of Boris Johnson.
As part of a wide-ranging interview with the former US president on Monday night, the former Good Morning Britain presenter said the couple was due to meet for an interview in December 2019 in London “just before the pandemic”.
However, Morgan went on to say that the interview was canceled at the last minute by Mr Trump at the request of the Prime Minister.
Mr Trump confirmed that this was “true” and said he was in the UK as Mr Johnson’s guest, so he would do as he asked.
The 75-year-old said he “doesn’t know” why Mr Johnson doesn’t want him to sit down with the TV presenter for an interview.
The former editor of the Daily Mirror said he thought the reason could be that the duo could “create something that will cost them the election”, which was just days after the planned meeting.

Mr Trump added that he “liked” the prime minister, but that “he is getting a little liberal, he’s getting a little green”.
The businessman and media personality also touched on the ongoing speculation that he will choose to run for president in 2024.
He said he could not say whether he would run again, but added that “many people will be very happy”.
Mr Trump also shared his thoughts on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, saying the war was “terrible” and outlined what action he would take against Russian leader Vladimir Putin if he were still US president.
He said: “We will be ashamed of what we have done or what we have not done to stop this catastrophe.

“It’s a disaster. In a way, this is already a world war. “
Speaking to Putin, Mr Trump said: “I would say we have many more (nuclear weapons) than you, much more powerful than you, and you can never use that word again.
“You can never use the nuclear word again. And if you do, we will have problems. “
In the opening monologue for the launch of his show on Monday night, Mr Morgan said his show’s mission was to “undo culture”.
He added: “I will defeat this insidious, joyless public scourge with the most effective weapons for preserving democracy – common sense and truth.”
The show is part of the new channel TalkTV, an initiative of News UK, publisher of The Times and The Sun.
