Trump reveals future plans for Nato in exclusive British TV interview with Nigel Farage: Live

Nigel Farage kicks off his GB News interview with Donald Trump by asking the former president about the state of the 2024 campaign as he prepares to face off again with President Joe Biden.

Mr Trump almost immediately pivots by making accusations about mail-in voting and saying migrants across the southern border are coming from prisons and insane asylums.

Skipping through topics at great speed, Mr Trump covers the wall, energy independence, fentanyl, and human trafficking, circling back to immigration.

In a sit-down interview with Nigel Farage for GB News, due to air later on Tuesday, Mr Trump said that there will be no preferential treatment for the Duke of Sussex if he returns to the White House in November.

Nigel Farage, the former leader of the UK’s Brexit Party, will shortly air an interview with his friend and ally Donald Trump on Britain’s GB News in which the former president claimed that if he returns to office in 2025, he will not take the US out of Nato.

While Mr Trump has been highly critical of the alliance he appears to have softened his stance since he said in February that he could “encourage” Vladimir Putin’s Russian to “do whatever the hell they want” to Nato countries who did not meet their financial obligations to the mutual defence pact.

“Nato became strong because of me. Now NATO has to treat the US fairly because if it wasn’t for the United States, NATO wouldn’t even exist. They took advantage of us like most countries do,” Trump explained.

Farage then asked him: “If they start to pay their bills properly and the club is fair are places like Poland going to be defended? Will America be there?”

To which the former president replied: “Yes. But the United States should pay its fair share, not everybody else’s fair share.”

Farage said: “Fair enough.” Trump told the GB News host: “I believe that the United States was paying 90 per cent of NATO, that could be 100 per cent.

“It was the most unfair thing and don’t forget, it’s more important to them than it is to us. We have an ocean between some problems.

“They will take advantage. They took advantage of us on trade, they took advantage on the military.

Nigel Farage asked him: “So if they start to play fair, America’s there?”

The former President Trump responded: “Yes. 100 per cent.”

Stay tuned as we cover the interview between Farage and the former president as it airs on GB News.

Trump keeps pointing to the Presidential Records Act to argue that he has done nothing wrong in the classified documents case, but what does the legislation say?

Here’s Gustaf Kilander to take a closer look.

Donald Trump on Tuesday said on social media that he may be forced to mortgage or sell parts of his real estate business holdings at “fire sale prices” to secure a bond to cover a $454m civil fraud judgment in New York.

The posts by the Republican challenger to Democratic President Joe Biden came a day after his lawyers told the court that 30 surety companies had rejected his efforts to secure a bond.

“Nobody has ever heard of anything like this before”  the former U.S. president said in a series of posts on his Truth Social platform. “I would be forced to mortgage or sell Great Assets, perhaps at Fire Sale prices.”

Trump, who was found liable in February for inflating his property values to dupe lenders and insurers, must post a bond or pay out of his own pocket by Monday. If not, the state’s attorney general could begin seeking to seize his properties.

Trump’s campaign fundraising has been falling behind Biden’s in recent months, and he continues having to balance raising money for both his campaign and his legal expenses, which are likely to rise as he faces four upcoming criminal trials.

Trump has denied wrongdoing in all the criminal and civil cases he faces. He has repeatedly described the New York civil case as a political vendetta by Democratic New York state Attorney General Letitia James.

Trump’s lawyers and James’ office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

In a court filing on Monday, Trump’s lawyers urged a mid-level state appeals court to delay enforcement of the judgment, arguing the amount was excessive. It was unclear when the court, known as the Appellate Division, would rule.

The lawyers asked that Trump instead be allowed to post a $100m bond while he appeals the judgment, handed down by Justice Arthur Engoron in Manhattan.

Before a three-month, non-jury trial began in October, Engoron found Trump had engaged in fraud by overvaluing properties including his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, his penthouse apartment in Manhattan’s Trump Tower, and various office buildings and golf courses.

The trial mostly concerned how much Trump should pay in penalties. In addition to the monetary fines, Engoron barred Trump from running a business in New York or seeking a loan from a bank chartered in the state for three years.

Trump this month posted a $91.6m bond to cover an $83.3m defamation verdict for the writer E Jean Carroll while he appeals, in a case that arose from his branding her a liar after she accused him of raping her decades ago. He has denied wrongdoing.

He has also pleaded not guilty in four criminal cases stemming from his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss to Biden, his handling of classified documents after leaving office in 2021, and hush money paid before his 2016 election win to a porn star who said she had a sexual encounter with him.
