Nigel Farage, the Brexit leader, will be hosting an inauguration party on Thursday night in Washington, just a few hundred yards from the White House. It will be an extravagant event reportedly taking up the entire top floor of one of the city’s most prestigious and expensive hotels. She described her stay in New York as a private visit and Front National party officials refused to say whether she was meeting Trump or anyone on his team. Asked if anyone from the Front National was going to Washington for the inauguration, an official in Le Pen’s office said “not that we’re aware of”. Dodik claimed to have received an official invitation but Bosnian media reported he had in fact bought a ticket for the accompanying balls.
