Donald Trump was embroiled in a new row last night after Washington said the UK was as dangerous as countries he has described as ‘s***holes’.
Security advice issued by the State Department ranks Britain on a par with the Congo and Zimbabwe, with US travellers warned about ‘heightened risks to safety and security’.
It comes amid the continuing fall-out from Mr Trump’s decision to cancel a trip to London next month – and growing global anger over his reported remarks about the number of citizens of ‘s***hole’ countries in Africa and the developing world being allowed to enter America.

Donald Trump was embroiled in a new row last night after Washington said the UK was as dangerous as countries he has described as ‘s***holes’, including the Congo and Zimbabwe (pictured above during 2016 clashes in Harare)

Under a new system, the US now divides countries into four levels of danger for its citizens.
Level 1 is deemed as safe as staying in America, while Level 4 means ‘do not travel’.
The UK is classed at Level 2, the same as the Congo, Zimbabwe and Algeria.
Under its advice for the UK, the State Department says its citizens should ‘exercise increased caution’ because of the threat of terrorism.
It says: ‘Groups continue plotting possible attacks in the United Kingdom… be aware of your surroundings when travelling to tourist locations and crowded public venues’.

US travellers have been warned about ‘heightened risks to safety and security’ after the president cancelled his visit to London next month

US visitors to Zimbabwe are warned about ‘crime and civil unrest’.
It says: ‘Violent crime, such as assault, carjacking, and home invasion is common.
‘Local police lack the resources to respond effectively to serious crime.’
While France, Spain, Italy and Germany are also ranked as Level 2 due to terrorism, most European countries, including Ireland, Portugal, Holland, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Austria and Poland are ranked as Level 1.
Level 4 countries include Iran and Libya.
The State Department says the new system is designed to provide US citizens with ‘clear, timely, and reliable safety and security information’.
The Foreign Office denied the UK should be classed as a risky destination.
A spokeswoman said: ‘Britain continues to be a safe and attractive destination for foreign visitors.’

I wonder what level Chicago or Baltimore are rated at?

Still clueless as you excitedly babble to yourself, huh, Sick Brit Twit? I guess since you're always sticking your nose into American politics, you don't even know what's going on in your own country:

A long article, key points of which included:
[h=2]Was there controversy over the planned visit?[/h] Home Secretary Amber Rudd hinted Trump's state visit could have been postponed again anyway after the US President retweeted anti-Muslim videos.
Theresa May criticised the president after he retweeted three clips from the account of far-right Britain First deputy leader Jayda Fransen.
Asked if it was wrong to roll out the "red carpet" to Trump following his controversial tweets, Ms Rudd said: ‘The invitation has been extended and accepted but we have yet to make the arrangements. No date has been agreed yet."
But she stopped short of saying he would not be welcomed.
Ms Rudd added that the relationship is so important she "wouldn’t want to harm it at all".
But other ministers said a visit would be "unimaginable" after Trump mocked Mrs May on Twitter.
The first video Trump's account re-posted is captioned: "Muslim migrant beats up Dutch boy on crutches."


[h=2]What was the petition to ban him from visiting Britain?[/h] After the invitation of a state visit was first announced, campaigners staged protests in Westminster urging the government to withdraw the offer because they oppose Donald Trump's election and his policies.
Protesters were furious at his travel ban on people from six nations on national security grounds.
They were also outraged at Trump's discriminatory remarks about immigrants as well as comments they say are sexist.
An online petition titled "Prevent Donald Trump from making a State Visit to the United Kingdom" was signed by 1.86million people.
It said he should be allowed to visit the UK - but demanded the Government withdraw the invitation of a state visit because his "misogyny and vulgarity" would embarrass the Queen.
A rival petition titled "Donald Trump should make a State Visit to the United Kingdom" gained more than 311,000 signatures.
Supporters said it would be absurd not to invite the democratically elected President when tyrants have been welcomed in the past.
MPs have debated both petitions in Westminster Hall, where politicians branded Mr Trump a "petulant child" and blasted Britain's "fawning subservience" and "desperation" for a trade deal.
