A British minister said on Sunday that the government is unlikely to ask the Reform party leader Nigel Farage to act as an intermediary to deal with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.

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.

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.

This Is What I’ll Do To ‘Mend Fence’s Between U.S. And U.K. After Trump’s Victory On Friday, UK Reform Party Leader Nigel Farage discussed relations between the United States and the United Kingdom ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration.

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 "got a great relationship" with the president-elect and knows people he believes will be in Mr Trump's administration for "quite a long time".

The Reform UK leader – a close ally of Mr Trump and the only UK politician who was at his Palm Beach home on election night - described Mr Trump as a “pro-British American president”. He claimed the Republican politician would give the UK “potentially huge opportunities if we can overcome the difficulties that the whole of the cabinet have been rude about him”.

Sir Keir congratulated Mr Trump on his 'historic victory'. Nigel Farage, who has close links to Mr Trump, said the PM would have to 'roll out the red carpet' and hope to find the President-Elect in a forgiving mood.
