00:00On Donald Trump, have you sent him a congratulatory note about his 100 days?

00:04No, I haven't.

00:04You haven't been in touch at all since he...

00:06I said before, you've got a British government involved in trade negotiations.

00:11If I'm seen to be interfering from the sidelines, that would look terrible.

00:14I sense, are you disengaging from Trump a bit?

00:16Is it that you've seen the support, the popularity of Mark Carney

00:21when he defined himself against Trump?

00:24And of course, he's a bet noir for you in terms of politics.

00:26Is there ground to be gained now for reform and for you, for disengaging with where Trump is?

00:32Quite why Trump's come out with his 51st State of America stuff with Canada, I have no idea.

00:38I've always said that our interests with Trump are similar, but not symmetrical.

00:42And I still believe this is a pro-British American president

00:46who wants to do a full trade deal with us,

00:48but I worry that Starmer's reset with the EU is going to make that impossible.

00:52That's coming up next month. So are you disengaging from Trump?

00:54No, I'm not disengaging. I'm not disengaging, but I cannot be seen to interfere.

01:00If the Labour Party ring me up and say, go and see him and try and help with the trade deal,

01:04I go and do it. But if I interfere now, I'll be called all the names under the sun.

01:09Nigel Farage, we'll see you after voting on Friday.
