TPO - Former President Donald Trump's campaign support team accused British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labor Party of "gross interference" in the US presidential election, after British volunteers went to the US to support Kamala Harris' team.

Mr Trump’s campaign has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission in Washington demanding an immediate investigation into “illegal foreign contributions made by the British Labour Party and received by Ms Harris”.
The complaint cites press reports and a LinkedIn post by Sofia Patel – the head of the Labour Party group. Ms Patel wrote that “nearly 100 current and former Labour Party staff will travel to the US in the coming weeks to support Ms Harris, the Democratic vice-president”. Ms Patel’s post has since been deleted. “Those investigating foreign interference in our elections need to look beyond a LinkedIn post,” the complaint said. The UK Labour Party regards the US Democrats as its sister party. Since his landslide election victory in July, Prime Minister Starmer has sought to build a relationship with Mr Trump and met the Republican candidate at Trump Tower during a visit to New York in September. Speaking while en route to Samoa, Mr Starmer told reporters he did not expect the complaint to cause tension with Mr Trump if he won the November 5 election. The British prime minister said Labour volunteers had participated in every US election to date. “They do it in their spare time, as volunteers members. They are with volunteers. That is what they have done in previous elections and they are doing this election. It is really simple,” he said.Tienphong.vn
