Nigel Farage has claimed former US president Donald Trump “learned a lot” from studying his speeches before he ran for office.<\/p>\n

The Reform UK<\/strong><\/a> leader denied he thought he was Britain’s version of Trump<\/strong><\/a>, telling ITV’s The Leader Interviews – Tonight programme: “I think we’re very different but I think we think the same on many things.”<\/p>\n

He added: “He’s learned quite a lot from me, I think it goes both ways… He was watching my speeches in the European Parliament for many years… before he decided to run.”<\/p>\n

When asked if the former president had told him this, Mr Farage<\/strong><\/a> replied: “I know that to be true.”<\/p>\n

Mr Farage is close to Trump and has repeatedly praised the former US president.<\/p>\n

Before his decision to join Reform UK earlier this month, Mr Farage had said he planned to help Trump with his presidential campaign this year.<\/p>\n

But he has since admitted: “If I’m elected the MP for Clacton, and I’m there every Friday… it’ll become more difficult but not impossible.”<\/p>\n

Farage doubles down on Ukraine comments<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the interview Mr Farage also doubled down on his claim the West “provoked” Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Asked how he would deal with the Russian president, he told ITV: “Well, we’ve tried of course through sanctions to weaken him, but all that’s actually done is drive him into the arms of China.<\/p>\n

“He needs to know there’s a threat now, he needs to know, he does need to know, it is so far and no further.<\/p>\n

“I think the West historically, up until a few years ago, provoked Putin stupidly.<\/p>\n

“I felt the ever, ever eastward expansion of NATO and the European Union was giving Putin a reason to go to war. I guess the question is, what do we do now? And yes, I do support us giving munitions and help to Ukraine but I feel the war is a complete stalemate.<\/p>\n

“I think the number of lives being lost is horrific. There have been no sensible, substantive negotiations of any kind and even if negotiations to try and find a peace, to try and find a way through, fail, I think it’s better to have those negotiations than not.”<\/p>\n

‘That is a disaster’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Farage also said he has an issue with migrants coming to Britain and continuing to speak their own language.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

He said: “I have a huge problem with people coming to Britain, not assimilating, maintaining their own languages.<\/p>\n

“You know, not mixing in communities. That is a disaster.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
