Nigel Farage discusses "freedom and winning " in meeting with Donald Trump

[Jacque67 7,328]

confirmed that the president-elect met UK Independence party leader Nigel Farage, saying the two men discussed freedom and winning. Farage later indicated he and Trump had discussed the placing of a bust of Sir Winston Churchill back in [the] Oval Office.

Kellyanne Conway, Trumps campaign manager in the last months of the presidential campaign, left Trump Tower in New York two hours after Farage had been seen to arrive on Saturday.

All these meetings are incredibly productive, Conway told the Guardian. Farage had previously spent time with Trump, who regularly invoked Brexit as an example of the success coming his way, at a campaign rally and after a presidential debate. Inside the tower, Conway told reporters: I think they enjoy each others company.

The interim Ukip leader is the first British politician to meet Trump following his election victory. The meeting is likely to cause concern in Downing Street, following reports that the special relationship between the US and UK could be more difficult to maintain under the new president.

Britains prime minister, Theresa May, was only the 11th world leader called by Trump after his victory on Tuesday.

On Saturday evening, Farage sent a tweet that was accompanied by a picture of the two men smiling broadly in front of a pair of gold doors:
