The leader of the Brexit Party Nigel Farage has embarked on a trip to New York as he launches the World4Brexit group as he seeks the help of pro-Trump Americans allies in helping to raise funds to help the UK’s exit from the EU. Mr Farage has launched a lobby group which is looking to promote the benefits for the US and the rest of the world of an independent Britain. One of the guests at the event was the former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski as well as Phil Bryant who is the governor of Mississippi.
As part of this trip, Mr Farage also frequented the White House for a meeting with US President Donald Trump. It has been widely reported that Mr Trump told Mr Farage of his keenness for an alliance between Mr Farage and Mr Johnson. The stated aims for World4Brexit are to highlight the benefits of Brexit for the UK and the international community alike as well as to encourage interactions between nations and that will promote free trade and democracy. Mr Farage was bold in his embracement of this project when he stated, “It’s a big positive campaign that Brexit opens up doors.”

It would appear from pictures released to the attendee’s Twitter pages that the meeting was good-humoured with Pete Bryant captioning his post with “Proud to have joined my friends @Nigel_Farage and @peggy_grande in NYC at an event to support the fight for Brexit.” The group is looking to give businesses in the UK, US and the rest of the chance to positively promote the advantages of trade without the so-called EU red tape and protectionist racket. It is widely accepted that as a result of Boris Johnson being confirmed as Britain’s new PM this week that Mr Farage’s harder Brexit appears to be very much back on the table.

Mr Farage has been quizzed heavily as to the source of donations to the World4Brexit campaign, which appears to be the new tactic of certain MSM sources to attack conflicting ideologies. Mr Farage responded to these questions by saying it will be all “above the board and legal”. Mr Farage went on to attack these suggestions by saying “Guess who is funding all the negativity — it is one
George Soros. So let’s not get mad — let’s get even.”
Mr Soros is a well-known hedge fund manager, investor and believer of the European Union. He is also known as the ‘man who broke the bank of England’ after his short sale of $10 billion worth of sterling made him a profit of $1billion. Black Wednesday as it has become known is estimated to have cost the UK government £3.4billion and led to Britain leaving the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.
