GB News host Nigel Farage has been rumored for a potential U.S. ambassadorial role if Donald Trump is reelected. Farage warned that Trump should take care to fill the position with someone who is “not the usual Foreign Office stooge.” The news came as Farage arrived in Washington, D.C., for the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
“If I’m the right person for that, wonderful. If I’m not, well, let’s find someone who’s not the usual Foreign Office stooge,” Farage responded to the rumor.
Farage and Trump have had a close friendship for several years, with Trump suggesting in 2017 that Farage could be the British ambassador to the U.S. Farage hinted at his potential role, expressing the importance of having an ambassador in Washington who could maintain a relationship with the Trump administration should the Labour Party win the British election.
Aside from his political engagement, Farage praised Trump’s foreign policy track record, particularly the Abraham Accords, which established initial relations between Israel and several Arab states. “He proved to be a great peacemaking president and we need him back on the world stage very badly and very quickly,” Farage said.
