British minister shoots down Farage's offer to be Trump's go-between
UK government dismisses idea of using **Nigel Farage** as link to incoming Trump administration. Treasury minister points to MP duties as priority over US diplomatic role
Treasury minister Darren Jones made clear on Nov 10th that the UK govt wont use Nigel Farage as a go-between with president-elect Trump (even though Farage was at Trumps Florida victory party)
The brexit-supporting MP Farage – who has been a long-time friend of Trump – offered to help smooth things over between both countries; however Jones told Sky News that its not gonna happen. “I think thats probably unlikely“ he said adding that the MP should focus on his local work instead of US relations
Global leaders are now getting ready for Trumps return to power next yr – a president known for his trade-first approach and nato-skeptic views. During his last time in office (bout 4 years ago) he pushed hard for higher tariffs and america-first policies
The timing of UKs ambassador pick to Washington has been carefully planned by Keir Starmer‚ who waited till after US election results. This role will be super-important for UK-US ties in the coming yrs
I have a great relationship with Trump and Im ready to help – its in our national interest
