• United Kingdom: Corbyn promises a "real change" beyond Brexit at the launch of its campaign
  • United Kingdom: British Parliament agrees early elections on December 12

Donald Trump has broken into the British election campaign advising Premier Boris Johnson to collaborate with the leader of the Brexit Party, Nigel Farage , and to form "an unstoppable force." The US president has taken advantage of his interview with Farage himself on the LBC station to lash out against Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn , claiming it would be "very bad for the country."

Hours after launching his campaign for the December 12 elections, Corbyn replied accusing Trump of " interfering in British politics favoring his friend Boris Jonhson ." The US president confirmed that he will visit London to attend the NATO summit on December 3, nine days before the election date.

In his radio interview, Trump acknowledged having reservations about the agreement for Brexit reached by Boris Johnson with Brussels , although he expressed hope in a future trade agreement with the United Kingdom "to multiply the volume of the exchange we now have". The US president, who raised the alarms on his last visit to the United Kingdom alleging that the Public Health System (NHS) would enter into a future negotiation between the two countries , said however that he does not intend to interfere in British health.

"I don't know how this whole mess of the health system started," Trump said. "It's ridiculous. I think it was Corbyn who put it there. The truth is that we mentioned the issue and I never heard of it until I visited the Queen" (it was really the American ambassador, Woody Johnson, who came to say that in a hypothetical trade agreement between London and Washignton, the NHS would be on the table).

Trump praised Boris Jonhson as "a fantastic man " and as "the right guy for these times." "Boris has great respect for you," Farage said personally in an open microphone. "I have no idea about the psychology of two brilliant people, but frankly I think you could both work together, that you would make a good team."

Donald Trump failed in his day to try to "name" Farage as British ambassador to the United States. During his state visit last June, in the last thunderstorm of Theresa May's term, Trump met personally with Farage, but Johnson preferred to keep the distance and have only a telephone conversation with the US president. "

"Donald Trump is not qualified to be president and Boris Johnson is not fit for prime minister," said Foreign Spokesman of the Liberal-Democratic Party Chuka Umunna. "You can say a lot about a person based on their companies. And the truth is that Trump is a thug, a misogynist and a racist ."
