Trump undermines democracy with media attacks, says David Cameron

David Cameron has accused Donald Trump of undermining democracy by attacking the media, saying the true threat posed by fake news lay with Vladimir Putin, his twitter bots and Russian efforts to use corruption as a weapon of foreign policy.

The former British prime minister also accused Russia of winning the right to stage the 2018 Fifa World Cup via corruption.

Giving his first British public lecture since his resignation in the wake of the Brexit referendum defeat in 2016, Cameron also defended multilateral institutions such as the European Union, warning isolationism driven by anti-globalisation endangered the world’s security.

Giving a lecture in London to Transparency International, he said: “Just as with all our biggest challenges – on trade, on terrorism, on climate change, on global poverty – we need to work with other nations if we want change. We cannot do this alone.”
