A man accused of raping a woman in London denied he was angry when she received a call from Donald Trump’s son, a court has heard.

Barron Trump, the youngest son of the US president, was on a video call in January last year with the woman, who cannot be named, when he allegedly witnessed her being assaulted by a man in London and alerted police.
