- Media learned of Trump team's intention to help Farage become Britain's prime minister
Members of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's team are helping opposition British politician Nigel Farage in his fight for the post of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in retaliation for the Labor government, which helped the election campaign of Kamala Harris. This was reported by the British newspaper Daily Mail on January 18.
Trump's aides met with members of Nigel Farage's Reform UK party at an elite private club for talks on improving the party's election chances, the publication said.
Trump's key advisers are also discussing whether to put British Prime Minister Keir Starmer "at the back of the queue" of world leaders invited to Washington after the president-elect's inauguration, which is due on January 20.
In addition, the new administration could go even further and reject the appointment of Peter Mandelson as Britain's ambassador to the United States.
"We have a close relationship with the Trump team and we communicate on a daily basis. The fact that Labor sent agents to campaign for Harris in the [US] presidential election will not be forgotten," a senior source in Farage's party said.
Farage will also attend Trump's swearing-in ceremony.
Earlier in the day, Heritage Foundation think tank representative Niall Gardiner said that British Prince Harry could be deported from the United States after Trump's inauguration. According to the expert, Trump could release Prince Harry's immigration documents within months of taking office.
Before that, on November 11, 2024, Americanist Vladimir Mozhegov reported that Trump may expel British Prince Harry from the country after the inauguration. According to the expert, the American leader-elect likes Farage more than Starmer, so he may go for the expulsion of Prince Harry.
The election for the 47th president of the United States was held on November 5, 2024. In the popular vote, Trump received 51% of the vote, while Democratic candidate Kamala Harris received 47.4%. Later, the Republican, speaking to supporters, called himself the 47th President of the United States and said that his goal as head of state considers the end of military conflicts in the world. The inauguration ceremony of the President-elect of the United States will be held on January 20, 2025.
