UK Tells Trump He "Must Not" Meet With Brexit Architect Nigel Farage
Quote:The U.K. government reportedly has told President Donald Trump not to meet with former U.K. Independence Party leader, and Brexit architect, Nigel Farage during his trip overseas later this month.
According to the U.K. Daily Telegraph, Trump was told by the British government that he “must not meet Farage” while he’s in Europe next week for the G20 summit.
In response, Farage, now a Fox News contributor who’s been embraced by the president, told Fox News that the British government’s warning to Trump suggests “they’re nervous about what Trump is going to say about NATO, about Brexit.”
“I think they’re very nervous indeed,” he said.
Trump has praised Brexit in the past, saying in Scotland shortly after the vote: “What I like is that I love to see people take their country back. And that's really what's happening in the United States.”
And Farage claims the U.K. doesn’t want the president to further praise the controversial vote.
“The one thing they do not want me doing is having a photograph with the U.S. president when he’s in London with both of us saying ‘Brexit is a great idea, why doesn’t the government just get on with it?’” he said.

I get it that they're an ally, but they can't demand we don't speak to someone.

They are used to being pushed around by the Germans in the same manner. Something has to give.

Exactly what I was about to post. I would have him at the airport greeting Trump when he landed.

I got to thinking, all this supposed warning will do is embolden Trump even more.
I can just see the **** show coming from liberals if he were to give a speech to Parliament and call out every sellout Brit in the room.
Trump is like Don Rickles. I love it.
