Nigel Farage dined out with Donald Trump on Saturday night after managing to secure a last-minute invitation to join the US president for an evening meal.
The former Ukip leader was photographed sitting opposite Trump and alongside his daughter Ivanka, her husband and senior White House adviser, Jared Kushner, and the Florida governor, Rick Scott, at the presidents luxury hotel in Washington DC.
Posting the photograph on Twitter, Farage wrote Dinner with The Donald. However, onlookers revealed that a place had only been made for him at the table at short notice.
Earlier in the day Farage had backed Trumps treatment of the mainstream media, heaping praise on his political ally in a television interview. He told Fox News: They [the media] are simply not prepared to accept that Brexit happened, that Trump happened, they kind of want to turn the clock back. And what they dont realise is they are losing viewers, they are losing listeners, they are losing this battle big time and Im pleased the president is not afraid to stand up to them.
