British Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, has said United States President Donald Trump deserved to be defeated in the country’s midterm elections, criticising his handling of the Iran war, trade policies and treatment of allies, The Independent reports on Saturday.
Badenoch described Trump’s electoral setback as “entirely self-inflicted” and condemned what she called his “dirty” style of politics in an interview with The Independent Editor-in-Chief, Geordie Greig.
The Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress in Tuesday’s midterm elections, flipping at least seven Senate seats and more than two dozen House districts in a major setback for Trump’s Republican Party.
Asked whether Trump deserved the defeat, Badenoch replied, “Yeah. He has not been acting in the way that I would consider conservative.”
