Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride has said that Labour need to "build bridges" with the US after David Lammy's tweets about President-elect Donald Trump.
Speaking to GB News, Stride said: " I think those remarks were very unfortunate. And clearly it's incumbent on the government to build those bridges with Donald Trump and his new administration.
"I think Kemi Badenoch yesterday in Prime Minister's Questions, was absolutely right to press the Prime Minister on ensuring that those remarks are effectively withdrawn because I think they're extremely unhelpful.
"What we've got to be about now as a country is building those bridges with the United States because it matters for the world economy and it matters for world security, too."
