Farage is willing to serve Donald Trump 'formally or informally'

I can to bring our great nations a bit closer together’

Nigel Farage has expressed a willingness to serve Donald Trump “formally or informally” in the pursuit of improved US-UK relations.
“I just happen to know a few people in his administration,” the former UK Independence party leader told CNN on Saturday. “I’ve clearly got Trump’s confidence and I want us to move as quickly as we can towards a free trade deal between the UK and the USA.”
Asked if after Trump infamously tweeted that he should be British ambassador to the US he envisaged taking a formal diplomatic role, Farage said: “Do you know, I honestly don’t know the answer to that.
“But what I will say is I would like, formally or informally, to do whatever I can to bring our great nations a bit closer together.”
