Nigel Farage has ‘good meeting’ with Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump has held a meeting with Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage during his state visit to the UK.

Mr Farage said the pair had a "good meeting" and the president "really believes in Brexit".

The Brexit Party leader, a friend of the president, was photographed being driven to Winfield House, the residence of the US ambassador in London, on the way to his meeting with Mr Trump.

Mr Farage said the president was "loving his trip to London".

Before his state visit to the UK, Mr Trump had indicated he could meet Mr Farage.

The US president is also expected to meet Tory leadership hopefuls Michael Gove and Jeremy Hunt, and had a phone conversation with Boris Johnson during the visit.

Ahead of the trip, Mr Trump said: "Nigel Farage is a friend of mine. Boris is a friend of mine. They are two very good guys, very interesting people."

In a reference to the Brexit Party's European election success, he added: "Nigel's had a big victory, he's picked up 32% of the vote starting from nothing.

"I think they are big powers over there, I think they have done a good job."
