Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Nigel Farage Offers to Help UK Ambassador with Trump Relations
Caption: Nigel Farage Offers to Help UK Ambassador with Trump Relations. Nigel Farage has offered to assist incoming US ambassador Lord Mandelson in navigating relations with Donald Trump’s administration. Mandelson, a former New Labour minister, was appointed by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer earlier this month and will take up his role in Washington next year. The appointment has drawn criticism, including from Trump campaign manager Chris LaCivita who called Mandelson an “absolute moron”. In 2019, Mandelson labeled Trump “a white nationalist and racist”. Despite political differences, Farage told the Daily Telegraph he is willing to use his connections with Team Trump to strengthen US-UK relations. He added, “If it is in the national interest, I can be a useful asset—but if they don’t use that, more fool them”. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
