Donald Trump's campaign has accused the UK's ruling Labour Party of 'blatant foreign interference' in the US presidential election by sending almost 100 activists to support Kamala Harris's campaign. In a press release titled 'The British are coming!', the Trump campaign announced it has filed a formal legal complaint against Labour, denouncing the party as 'far-left' and attempting to sway American voters. The accusations have raised concerns about potential diplomatic tensions between the US and the UK, especially if Trump is re-elected. Labour leader Keir Starmer has downplayed the accusations, but he and Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy are reportedly striving to maintain a working relationship with Trump's team, amid fears that the party's actions could hinder future cooperation.
