Nigel Farage reportedly urged U.S. President Donald Trump to support a no-deal Brexit when they met face-to-face in Washington earlier this month. That was the exact quote from Trump,' Mr Farage told the newspaper. Mr Farage said the Trump White House 'firmly believes in the nation state' rather than 'supranational structures' such as the EU. President Trump became friends during his campaign when the former UKIPleader, dubbed 'Mr Brexit', was greeted at a rally in Mississippi before the 2016 election. President Trump has spoken highly of Mr Farage in the past, stating that he would do 'a great job' as British ambassador to the United States.
