Donald Trump will ‘launch an all-out war’ against Keir Starmer if he wins the US presidential race after falling out over Labor and helps his rival Kamala Harris

Donald Trump will unleash an ‘all-out war’ against Sir Keir Starmer when he returns to the White House, according to senior Conservative figures who have been in contact with the former US president’s campaign team.

Tory party sources said revelations about the Labor Party’s alleged interference in the US election on behalf of Trump’s Democratic opponent Kamala Harris would have far-reaching consequences if he were to win the election in 10 days’ time.

A source told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Don’t underestimate the damage Starmer has done to US relations – Trump’s team is ready to unleash an all-out war against him because he is seen as anti-American and a whiny one. , liberal bore’.

The Trump campaign has filed a complaint with the US elections watchdog over ‘illegal foreign national contributions’ after it emerged that Labor chief operations officer Sofia Patel had asked party staffers if anyone would be willing to travel to the US to ‘help our friends around the world’. the pond elects their first female president.”

Senior Labor officials including Morgan McSweeney – now the No. 10 chief of staff – and communications director Matthew Doyle attended the Democratic National Convention in August. The delegation included Hollie Ridley, then Labour’s executive director for countries and regions, and senior aide Sheila Murphy.

Ms Ridley has since been appointed as Labor general secretary, replacing David Evans – who was also travelling. All were deeply involved in Labour’s general election campaign.

The latest polls show Harris with just over a one percent lead overall — but the Electoral College system could still favor Trump even if he trails the popular vote.

A significant majority of bets placed on the election in America last week were on Trump.

Sir Keir has tried to play down fears that the row could derail Britain’s relationship with America if Trump wins.

Speaking at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Summit in Samoa, he said: “I met President Trump in New York just a few weeks ago. We ate together for two hours. We wanted to make sure we got to know each other. The fact that a few Labor volunteers took part in this election, as they have done in every previous election, in previous elections, as political activists from all political parties in virtually every election, year after year after year, must be put into context placed. perspective.’

He added: “I have a good relationship with President Trump. I will work with whoever is elected.”

Trump’s deputy general counsel argued in a letter to the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday that Labor’s campaign efforts were part of a “far-left” plot to thwart his campaign.

The complaint states that a ‘reasonable inference’ could be drawn that Labor was involved in organizing the trip, despite the party denying this.

The letter also accused the officials of advising the Harris campaign at the convention, which they said violated rules that do not allow foreigners to make “contributions” in the US.
