Nigel Farage has claimed that Vladimir Putin would not have launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 if Donald Trump had been US president.
Speaking to Sky News, the politician said he was confident that Mr Trump card He will be elected to the White House in the November election.
“I think the border issue is a result of the crime problems you see in American cities — Chicago is in absolutely terrible shape — I think people look at Trump and say, ‘You know what? “This is a tough one.” “A man who will actually stand up and fight against these things,” Mr. Farage said.
“And in addition, and don't underestimate this, he had a very successful foreign policy when he was president.
“Since he's gone, the world is now a more dangerous place than it was before. So I think all of these factors play in his favor.”
Farage added: “There is a kind of argument in Europe that he will blow up NATO… I don’t believe any of that for a moment.
“What he wanted was for NATO members to pay their fair share. I don't think Putin would have invaded Ukraine if Trump had been in the White House.”
Farage also said the idea that Trump wants to destroy democracy is “nonsense.”
