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".

I would have expected no less. I am very glad.
WoW! Yay President Trump!
Merry Christmas....again!
Welcome back Winston, we missed you.
That’s our Donald
Booooom! “Winning. “
Is it fair trade to give the U.K. special treatment at the front of the line?
That is a giant FU to Obama if there ever was one.
In your face OBAMA!
To have it announced by Farage is just awesome!
Perfect!
I swear he’s been more than a 9YearLurker, at least, here on FR.
Looks like this bust will be the next standard policy reversed every time a different party takes over. Along with Mexico City policy.
Highly symbolic gesture. Brilliant and perfect!
Bump!
Leave it to Nigel! I’ll bet he reminded the ever-busy Donald about that damned bust! And Trump jumped to! Let’s make Obama grind his pretty teeth into dust, people.
Most excellent news! A direct slap in Obama’s face. Love it.
AWESOME. I cant wait to see who Trump invites to the White House as guests.
Excellent.
Trump needs to tell Obama to get the vandalism his wife did to the White House grounds fixed by the time he moves in (aka “garden”).
