TRUMP SORRY FOR ANTI-MUSLIM VIDEO RETWEETS

U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that he was ready to apologize for retweeting anti-Muslim videos from an ultranationalist British group, and he reiterated that he is not a racist.

In an interview with Good Morning Britain, Trump was pressed by Piers Morgan, the presenter, about his November retweet of three videos by a far-right fringe party called Britain First, which caused outrage and brought a rare rebuke from Prime Minister Theresa May.

Trump said Friday he knew “nothing” about the group’s politics, and that the tweets showed his concern about radical Islamic terrorism.

“If you are telling me they’re ... horrible, racist people, I would certainly apologize,” the president told the ITV broadcaster.
