Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond said U.K. Independence Party leader Nigel Farage shouldn’t “hold his breath” in anticipation of a role helping Britain build its relationship with the U.S.
President-elect Donald Trump has said Farage, who celebrated his success in the Brexit referendum with a lavish party at London’s Ritz Hotel on Wednesday night, would “do a great job” as British ambassador to the U.S. Farage has said he’s willing to serve and posed for photos with a tray of Ferrero Rocher chocolates in a reference to a U.K. television advert that featured the chocolates at diplomatic gatherings.
