Farage claims he will ‘break down barriers’ between UK government and Donald Trump

Nigel Farage claims it is in the “national interest” for him to “help break down barriers” between the Labour government and Donald Trump’s new top team.

Mr Farage, a close friend of President-elect Trump, said he has a role to play in smoothing over relations following previous comments made about the Republican by senior Labour figures.

Speaking on GB News on Wednesday (6 November), Mr Farage said the UK government and the Republicans have “huge differences” that need to be resolved.

The Reform MP said: “On areas like intelligence, defence, trade and investment, it is an essential national interest that we resolve them.

“If I can help in any way at all, I will do. It’s in the national interest and that’s the point.”
