NIGEL FARAGE has revealed that Donald Trump will re-install a bust of Winston Churchill removed from the Oval Office by Barack Obama - in a clear sign of the friendship the new President wishes to foster with Britain.
The interim Ukip leader said Mr Trump has already pushed Britain to the front of the queue for a favourable trade relationship and added that he is the man to forge stronger ties with the US as he flew to visit the business tycoon in his first days as President Elect.
Mr Farage said: "We talked about the prospect of the United Kingdom being at the front of the queue, all of which was met positively."
The Ukip leader described Donald Trump as an "anglophile" and said his re-installation of the Churchill statue was a clear sign of his appreciation for the historically warm relationship between the allies.
He said: "At the end of our time with Trump we asked him if the bust of Sir Winston Churchill that Obama had removed from the Oval Office could be put back in its rightful place. He enthusiastically thought that was a good idea. Need I say more?"
Nigel Farage played a key role in Mr Trump's US election campaign, speaking at rallies and drumming up support, with Mr Trump referring to his shock election victory as "Brexit plus plus".

What the devil ARE you talking about?
Tomorrow’s Headline on CNN: Trump favors Briton to benefit his golf courses and hotels.
All this winning! I’m tired of winning! All I do is win!
Only six days and he has averted nuclear war with Russia, and brought back a cherished gift on loan from one of our best allies.
Yawn... Obama hasn’t done that much in eight years.
I saw this in the article, too. I liken it to when Hussein blindsided Netanyahu at the presser with his desire to a return to Israel's 1967 borders. What a cheap shot that was, and none of Hussein's damn business..
“The European Union doesn’t moderate British influence –- it magnifies it,” Obama writes. “A strong Europe is not a threat to Britain’s global leadership; it enhances Britain’s global leadership.”
Worst foreign policy admin ever..
Outstanding!
Not so. The bust outside the Treaty Room was proved to be a different bust. The original Churchill bust that had pride of place in the Oval Office was taken back to the British embassy in D.C., iirc.
I seem to remember Jay Carney, Obama's previous press secretary, having to admit his complicity in the blatant lie.
I am ashamed of the insult to a GREAT nation and a GREAT man. Thankfully I say President Trump will restore what Obama did to our strongest ally. God save the Queen! Go Trump!
“Is it fair trade to give the U.K. special treatment at the front of the line?”
Yes, it is. Because not all allies are created equal.
In that case, I agree....maybe his wife or daughters can sponsor him and 8-10-12 years.
Obama dissed him because of Brit colonialism in Kenya, IIRC.
And the return of CLASS to our esteemed White House begins.
I remember. You ARE right! Thanks for the truth.
Donald never looked better!!
More Winning!
Ahhhhh! AHHHHH!
Next up the retroactive presidential letter to new Eagle Scouts...
Isn’t that b!tch professor in Alabama that murdered all those colleagues?
You’re of mixed feelings about this??? What, were you born in 2000 or something?
Churchill was half American, fought bravely against Nazi Germany before we entered into it, was a Conservative, great historian and literate writer - basically an effing genuis compared to today’s British politicians. (I’ll leave Thatcher out of this.)
That he made bad decisions, advocated some bad causes in his life is true of all great men. Get that bust back NOW!
What can Trump return to Africa? Hmmm...that’s a tough one!
How about Hillary? As Ambassador to Libya.
No, but the fag probably murdered a few hundred by infecting them with AIDS.
