Nigel Farage, the prominent British politician, recently shared his views on the international political landscape, specifically concerning the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In an interview with Sky News, Farage speculated that the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 might not have occurred if Donald Trump had been the U.S. President at the time.
Farage expressed confidence in Trump’s potential re-election in the upcoming November election. He attributed this belief to various domestic issues in the U.S., such as border security and rising crime rates in cities like Chicago. According to Farage, Trump’s tough stance on these issues could sway public opinion in his favor.
Additionally, Farage highlighted Trump’s foreign policy achievements during his presidency, suggesting that the global political environment has become more dangerous since his departure from office. He believes that these factors collectively bolster Trump’s appeal to voters.
Regarding NATO, Farage addressed the common concern in Europe about Trump’s approach to the alliance. He dismissed the notion that Trump would undermine NATO, arguing instead that Trump’s demand was for member countries to contribute their fair share financially.
