Donald Trump said he hoped prime minister Boris Johnson, and Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage would come together on a united political platform, – The president spoke to reporters at the White House.

Asked which British politician he would side with if he had to choose, Trump said: “I like them both … So I think Boris will get it right. They’re both friends of mine. What I’d like to see is for Nigel and Boris to come together. I think that’s a possibility.”

The UK is set to go to the polls on 12 December after MPs backed Boris Johnson’s call for an election following months of Brexit deadlock.
