In a separate public statement, Welby shared his shock that U.S. evangelicals supported then-candidate Donald Trump in such overwhelming numbers in the 2016 presidential election.
Speaking with the British television network ITV, Welby said he would meet with Trump if the U.S. president makes an official visit to Britain, adding that he has met worse people including those “who had killed many, many people.”
