British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has recently faced a claim made by Donald Trump's campaign, stating that Starmer's Labour Party is illegally interfering in the upcoming US presidential election. The claim was made through a statement on Trump's website on Tuesday evening, where it was announced that an official complaint had been filed with the Federal Election Commission. The complaint accused the Labour Party and the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris of making illegal foreign campaign contributions and interfering in the US election process.
The complaint was based on media reports of meetings between Labour officials and members of the Democratic Party, as well as a now-deleted LinkedIn post by a Labour staffer. The post had mentioned that there were plans for nearly 100 Labour Party staff to travel to the US in the coming weeks, specifically to swing states. This sparked concerns of potential interference in the election.
In response to these accusations, Starmer firmly stated that any party members in the US were there as volunteers. He explained that this was a common practice for political parties in previous elections and it was no different in this case. As he travelled to Samoa for a meeting of Commonwealth leaders, Starmer reassured reporters that the matter would not affect the relationship he has been working to build with Trump.
He further elaborated on his previous interactions with Trump, mentioning that he had spent time with the President in New York and had even shared a dinner with him. Starmer emphasized that his purpose in doing so was to establish a good relationship between the UK and the US, which he successfully achieved. He expressed his gratitude towards Trump for taking the time to meet with him.
Starmer made it clear that, regardless of the outcome of the US election, he will continue to work with whoever the American people choose as their president. As the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, he remains committed to maintaining a positive relationship with the US and its leader.
