After a three-day hiatus following the murder of MP Jo Cox, the campaign to decide whether Britain should leave the EU has been restarted. Mr Trump, in an interview with the Sunday Times, said he favoured an “out” vote.

"Personally, I'm in favor of leaving, for a lot of reasons. But I'm not a British citizen and this is just my opinion," Mr. Trump said.

The American billionaire also added that he would try to establish good relations with countries around the world if elected as US president in November 2016, including the British government of Mr. David Cameron - who once called Mr. Trump's proposal for a temporary entry ban on Muslims entering the US "divisive, stupid and wrong."

Previously, in May 2016, Trump said that Britain would be better off outside the EU, citing the increasing number of migrants.
