Trump tells Harry Dunn's parents that US woman accused of killing their son will not return to UK
Donald Trump has told the parent of Harry Dunn that the American woman allegedly responsible for their teenage son's death would not return to the UK.
Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn, said there had been "a little bit of progress", after their meeting with the US president.
Although Anne Sacoolas who left the UK after the crash in Northamptonshire which killed the 19-year-old, was also at the White House, they said they had refused to meet her.
"We didn't get the answers that we wanted," Ms Charles said. "They couldn't tell us who made the decision to bring her back to the US. We asked how long she was there for and they still said three weeks."
Asked if she felt the meeting was trying to sweep her son's death under the carpet, she said: "Initially yes I did think they were trying to do that - certainly by having Mrs Sacoolas there. I think maybe they were thinking that would be enough for us. We're seven weeks on and it's just not enough."
Mr Dunn added that they "weren't ready to meet her", as "it would have been too rushed."
"It's not what we wanted - we wanted a meeting with her in the UK," he said, although he made it clear that it "didn't feel like a stunt - they didn't try and force it onto us".
Ms Charles added: "I don't think it would be appropriate to meet her without therapists or mediators in the room."
