Nigel Farage: 'No way' U.K. parliament will approve military cooperation with U.S. under Biden
The Brexit architect said that America has never looked worse on the world stage than right now with its mishandling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Farage was asked by Fox News on Tuesday how the U.S. looks on the world stage. "Never been worse," he said. "I mean, we have been beside you for 20 years. We're a smaller country than America, but the U.K. has put in the same money, and suffered the same human loss. And we've never ever quibbled about that. We understood the reasons for the mission.
"And for President Biden, unilaterally, without consultation with us or the rest of the NATO allies, just to announce America is going, to effectively fly the white flag to the Taliban, to see that dramatic takeover of these barbarians of the country … right now, why would we ever trust America in any international mission, given they make decisions without consulting their closest friends?"
"Certainly, if it's a Biden or Harris administration, honestly, there is no way, there is no way a British parliament right now would vote for military cooperation with America led by this administration. And that's a very sad thing to say, because since 1917, the U.K. and America have been side by side in virtually every major conflict.
"We've been the closest allies in terms of military action, in terms of intelligence sharing, in terms of culture, in terms of business. You couldn't have a better ally in the world. And right at the moment, I'm sorry, but there's no way we could enter into another operation with you."
