UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Donald Trump’s legal complaint against his Labour Party over alleged election interference won’t jeopardize their relationship if the former president wins the US election next month.
Lawyers for Trump accused the Labour Party of “blatant foreign interference” and illegal foreign campaign contributions to Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ campaign, in a filing with the Federal Election Commission earlier this week. The Republican nominee’s complaint cited a since-deleted social media post by a Labour official saying almost 100 current and former staff members planned to travel to battleground states to campaign on Harris’ behalf.
