The Trump State Department posted on X: ‘We are concerned about freedom of expression in the United Kingdom'

Ms Tossici-Bolt was holding a sign saying “here if you want to talk”; outside the Bournemouth clinic and was taken to court over accusations she breached the Public Spaces Protection Order.

The verdict for her case is due on Friday.

In a rare intervention over the weekend, the Trump State Department posted on X: “US-UK relations share a mutual respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.

“However, as Vice President JD Vance has said, we are concerned about freedom of expression in the United Kingdom.”;

On Tuesday Ms Badenoch said: “We have freedom of expression in this country, we have free speech in this country.

“However it is at risk because a lot of people are expanding the law way beyond the original intention.”;

In February, Vance ripped into Britain over free speech and attacked Europe's immigration policies.

He said: “When I look at Europe today, it's sometimes not so clear what happened to some of the Cold War's winners.

“And perhaps most concerningly, I look to our very dear friends, theUnited Kingdom, where the backslide away from conscience rights has placed the basic liberties of religious Britons, in particular, in the crosshairs.”
