Donald Trump’s official Twitter account shared videos tweeted by the deputy leader of far-right group Britain First purporting to show Muslims committing crimes.
The US President's account, which has 43million followers, retweeted three posts by Jayda Fransen on Wednesday.
The posts included unverified videos titled "Muslim Destroys a Statue of Virgin Mary!" and "Muslim migrant beats up Dutch boy on crutches!"
He has received worldwide and cross-party condemnation, including from Theresa May who in turn was told by the US President to “focus on the destructive radical Islamic terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom”.

The Labour leader said in a Twitter message: “I hope our Government will condemn far-right retweets by Donald Trump.
“They are abhorrent, dangerous and a threat to our society.”
But this week his own brother seemingly shared a similar sentiment, as he shared a Twitter post by former BNP activist Mark Collett who was once the subject of a documentary titled ‘Young, Nazi and Proud’.
The tweet, accompanied by a picture of Theresa May dressed in a headscarf and chatting to two British Muslims, said: “Theresa May is an utter disgrace. She is an Islamic appeaser, multiculturalist & pawn of the internationalist bankers.
“No wonder she is angry with Donald Trump for retweeting the truth!”

After sharing Mr Collett’s Facebook post, he also tweeted: “PEOPLE! WAKE UP. MyTake is #Trump deliberately ReTweeted from someone who he knew would cause offence in order to magnify publicity and expose many politicians in front of the people for attacking the messenger (him) rather than discuss the content of the news concerned.”
Conspiracy theorist Piers Corbyn is Jeremy’s older brother and a maverick British weather forecaster who owns Weather Action.
He denies the existence of manmade climate change and believes the Met Office, media and "corrupt scientists" are "brainwashing" the public as part of a Qatar-run conspiracy to keep oil prices high.
He confirmed to Express.co.uk he had shared the tweet because he dislikes Theresa May but added his retweets "do not necessarily mean I agree or disagree".
