Former PM Liz Truss has said it would be best for the West if Joe Biden was “kicked out” of the White House.
Speaking to Nigel Farage on GB News, Ms Truss pinned the blame on left-wing policies and “Quangos” for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, China’s rise to power and the possibility of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons.
The UK’s shortest-lasting PM also said that her time in No10 as a cabinet minister had given her experience of both Mr Biden and Donald Trump – with one preferring the UK to the other in her view.
She said: “Joe Biden needs to be kicked out the White House. I think that is vital for the future of the West.
“I have worked in the cabinet under both the Trump presidency as trade secretary and the Biden presidency as Foreign Secretary, and I’ll tell you I felt safer for the West when President Trump was in power.”
Mr Farage responded that Trump “likes our country, but I always think Biden rather loathes us”.
Ms Truss replied: “Biden seems to be very keen to criticize the United Kingdom. That’s certainly what I found as both foreign secretary and as Prime Minister.”
It follows an interview with Fox News in which Ms Truss echoed much of the former US President’s language in attributing her downfall as PM to the “deep state”.
Ms Truss said: “In too much of the free world, the left has been in charge for too long and the results are all too plain to see. Their agents are only too active in public and private institutions and what we have come to know as the administrative state and the deep state.”
She said she had seen it for herself firsthand as the unnamed figures and bodies “sabotaged my efforts in Britain to cut taxes, reduce the size of Government and restore democratic accountability”.
Ms Truss resigned as PM after 49 days in No 10 after her mini-budget resulted in the value of the pound plummeting and a market crisis, resulting in soaring prices for mortgage repayments.
In her interview with the US news station, she even claimed that “left-wing elites” will be “aided and abetted by our enemies in China, Iran and Russia”.
She was joining Mr Farage after addressing Trump fans and right-wing Republicans at this week’s CPAC conference, near Washington DC.
