Nigel Farage says the world will be a safer place if Donald Trump wins the US presidential election.
The Reform Party leader has been in America rather than in his constituency in Clacton in order follow his pal around the US battleground states ahead of tomorrows crunch election.
But although Farage says he has confidence Trump, 78, will beat Kamala Harris to pick up the keys for the White House, he has advised the former US President to go play golf if he loses decisively.
Farage was among the Maga crowd today at Trumps final campaign rally at the Santander Arena, Reading, in swing state Pennsylvania.
Speaking ahead of the rally, Farage said he was in the US with GB News and would be following Trump around the country as much as we can.

Look, I just think a Trump win will make a world a safer place, he said. Theres all sorts that have been talked about with opinion polls.
Theres no doubt its tight, I still think Trumps going to win.
Trump gushed about his pal during his speech last night as he said hes always been my friend for some reason.
The US presidential candidate for the Republican Party said: We have a man from Europe. I dont know if hes here, I saw him backstage. What he is doing is sort of what we did a few years ago. Hes doing a great job.
Hes always been my friend for some reason. He liked me, I like him. Hes shaking it up over there. He was the big winner of the last election in the UK.
Hes a spectacular man, very well respected. Nigel Farage. Hes a little bit of a rebel but thats good. Dont change Nigel.
Mr Farage rose to his feet, waved a £42 turquoise Maga baseball cap and punched his fist in the air as the crowd clapped and cheered.
But if Harris does win the election then she should pardon Trump to dampen down the threat of unrest, Mr Farage said.
The Reform UK leader also suggested the Republican candidate should concede defeat and go and play golf in Scotland rather than claim the vote was stolen if he suffers a clear and decisive loss on Tuesday.
Mr Trump faces sentencing later in November after he was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records over the payment of hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels days before the 2016 election.

But Mr Farage also called on Harris to pardon Trump if she wins the election to dampen down the threat of unrest
Mr Farage, who last month accused Labour of direct interference in the American vote after it emerged that party activists had volunteered for Ms Harriss campaign, said: If she gets in on Tuesday I hope she pardons him.
She could look magnanimous and it would dampen down potential tensions.
Washington is braced for potential civil disorder after the storming of the US Capitol by pro-Trump insurrectionists following Joe Bidens 2020 election win, with polls placing the Republican candidate and Ms Harris in a dead heat.
Mr Farage suggested his friend should avoid rejecting Tuesdays result, as he did four years ago, if he loses decisively to his Democrat rival.
If it was clear and decisive then maybe its time (for Mr Trump) to go and play golf at Turnberry, he said.
Its all hypothetical and I still think he is going to win.
His intervention comes after he last month accused Labour of direct election interference over its staffers helping the Democrats, which the party says is common practice and done at activists own expense and in line with US laws.
This is direct election interference by the governing Labour Party, and particularly stupid if Trump wins. Who is paying for all this? he had written on X, formerly Twitter.
The Clacton MP has travelled to the US to support Mr Trump on multiple occasions, including a visit in July for which he declared £32,836 from a private donor for flights and accommodation.

In the register of MP interests, he said the purpose of the trip was to support a friend who was almost killed and to represent Clacton on the world stage.
Mr Farage turned up at the Trump rally in the swing state of Pennsylvania on Monday, where both US candidates converged in a final push before election day.
As recently as Sunday, Mr Trump renewed his false claims that American elections are rigged against him, mused about violence against journalists and said he shouldnt have left the White House in 2021.
Ms Harris has vowed to be a president for all Americans and urged voters to take the opportunity to turn the page on the politics of division.
