Nigel Farage has offered to help Lord Mandelson, the incoming US ambassador, in his new role by using his connections with the Trump administration. Despite their political differences, Farage believes he could be a useful asset for fostering good US-UK relations. He is particularly willing to assist with talks on trade, tariffs, intelligence-sharing, and countering terrorism, as many members of the president's cabinet are his friends.
