Nigel Farage told Donald Trump he should back a no-deal Brexit when the pair met in Washington earlier this month. The conversation took place at the Conservative Political Action
Conference (Cpac) in the US capital, the former Ukip leader claimed. The pair were pictured at the meeting, smiling with their thumbs raised.
"I was talking to him about Vietnam, where he had said that a bad deal was on the table so sometimes you have to walk. That was the exact quote from Trump." Mr Farage told The
Daily Telegraph. He likened the Brexit negotiations to the US leader's recent denuclearisation summit with North Korea in Vietnam.
"I said in the case of Vietnam that no deal was better than a bad deal and I gave my opinion that the same principle applied to Brexit," he said. "I think if you read the comments from his
ambassador in London, I don't think it takes much reading between the lines. This American administration firmly believes in the nation state, not supranational structures and this
administration are hugely keen on the defence, security and indeed business relationships that exist between our two countries.
Mr Trump has spoken highly of Mr Farage in the past, stating that he would do "a great job" as British ambassador to the United States.
He likened the Brexit negotiations to the US leader's recent denuclearisation summit with North Korea in Vietnam.
A complete and total failure where one side gave away more than the other and nothing was achieved?
I will support no-deal Brexit under the condition that Nigel Farage is jettisoned into the sun
Ah, yes, because that will convince people that it's a good plan: "Donald Trump likes it!"
