Trump and Farage met in Washington earlier this month and discussed Brexit.

Farage urged the US president to support a no deal, saying that like in North Korea talks you need to know when to walk.

Full story: telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/03/1…
Farage and Trump met at CPAC, the big annual Washington conference for the Right, on Saturday March 2.

That was just after Trump’s talks with Kim Jong-un in Hanoi had collapsed without an agreement.
Farage tells @Telegraph: “I said in the case of Vietnam that no deal was better than a bad deal and I gave my opinion that the same principle applied to Brexit.”

Won’t reveal whether Trump agreed, but says doesn’t take much “reading between the lines” to work out the US stance.
Trump has been critical of May’s Brexit plan on the grounds that it limits scope for US-UK free trade but not yet come all out for no deal.

Doing so would be a blow for PM.
Farage’s Trump meeting a) shows the access he has, however brief. Foreign Sec doesn’t meet Trump when he comes to Washington.

And b) reflects how hard Brexiteers are shaping Trump’s thinking. Bolton, Woody Johnson, Bannon all strong Eurosceptics according to sources.
