“The idea that I have suggested that we should be punished for tariffs… I’ve never said anything of that kind whatsoever. What I am saying is the opposite. What I am saying to Americans is, ‘Please have a chat with the British government.'”
The Reform politician added: “Say it’s not going to work the way it is and for the benefit of both of us, let’s rethink the legislation.”
He then claimed he “gets abused by everybody” when he speaks in Parliament and added: “I get to answer once every two or three months. I don’t think that should be a priority over talking here to American legislators and American companies who matter a lot to our country.”
It comes after Farage testified in the US House Judiciary Committee to discuss freedom of speech earlier today.
Jamie Raskin, a Democrat congressman, branded Farage a “Putin-loving, free-speech imposter and Trump sycophant”.
“You might think twice before you let Mr Farage make Britain Great again,” Raskin shared.
Following his remarks, Farage called Raskin “charming” before warning that the Online Safety Act would “threaten free speech across the West.”
