LONDON - A British minister said on Nov 10 that the government is unlikely to ask the Reform party leader Nigel Farage to act as an intermediary to deal with US President-elect Donald Trump. Mr Farage, the Brexit-campaigner and self-described troublemaker ...

Farage, the Brexit-campaigner and self-described troublemaker, is a friend of Trump and was at his election victory party in Florida. He has offered to act as an interlocutor between the British government and the Trump administration, which takes power in January.

Nigel Farage has claimed he could be "useful as an interlocutor" between the Labour Government and Donald Trump following the Republican's US election victory.

Despite being a political opponent to Britain’s center-left Labour government as leader of the Reform UK party, Farage has said he would be willing to help build bridges with the U.S. for the U.K.’s “future survival.”

Nigel Farage has said he could be “useful as an interlocutor” between the Labour Government and Donald Trump. The Reform UK leader said he has “a great relationship” with the US president-elect and knows people he believes will be in Mr Trump’s administration for “quite a long time”.

The longtime Trump ally nonetheless remained optimistic about the former president's chances: "I still think he is going to win.”

Nigel Farage will not be used as an envoy to build bridges with Donald Trump, a Cabinet minister made clear, jibing: “Hasn’t he got a job to do in Clacton”. The Reform UK leader, a longtime supporter of the president-elect, has offered to help the UK avoid tariffs that Trump is threatening to impose on imports into America.

Treasury secretary Darren Jones has said Labour is “unlikely” to accept Nigel Farage’s offer of acting as an interlocutor between the UK and the US. The Reform UK leader offered to help in the name of “national interest” as he has a close relationship with president-elect,
