Foreign Secretary David Lammy previously called Trump a “neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath,” labeled him a “dangerous clown” and “a racist KKK and Nazi sympathizer.”
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has feuded with Trump, telling POLITICO that the presidential candidate is “a racist. He’s a sexist. He’s a homophobe.” The Trump campaign has even accused Labour of election meddling.
Nigel Farage, a British Trump ally who heads up the Reform UK party in the U.K., has said such comments would make it “difficult for a period,” but that Trump may be open to reconciliation.
Streeting told LBC Tuesday: “I think it’s fair to say that we may not be ideological bedfellows with President Trump, but if he’s returned as president of the United States, there will be a really good working relationship.”
He added: “To be fair to Nigel Farage … he is a firm supporter of Donald Trump.
“He was reflecting overnight that whatever some of the noise we’ve heard about, you know that legal action or indeed things that we said about President Trump in the past, that we’ll be able to work effectively together as partners and and as allies.”
