Donald Trump is a good pal & Britain will miss him when he leaves the White House, says Defence Sec

DONALD Trump is a good pal and Britain will miss him when he finally leaves the White House, the Defence Secretary warned last night.

Ben Wallace said the sore loser President had always fought Britain’s corner on the world stage.

He told Trending In The News: “I’ll miss Donald Trump, because he was quite a good friend to Britain.”

The gushing praise will raise eyebrows in Westminster where Boris Johnson has made a concerted effort to love-bomb incoming President-Elect Joe Biden.

Speaking on a visit to British troops in Tapa, North Estonia Mr Wallace added: “Whatever people think of him, Donald Trump’s position towards the United Kingdom in many areas was totally aligned with us.

“And we should all be grateful or happy when we have a US administration that supports Britain’s interests.”

900 Brits are posted to the base near the Russian border in a bulwark NATO operation against Moscow, who Mr Wallace accused of “flexing its muscles.”

He told Trending In The News “the readiness factor here is the key.”

“All the forces here are very, very ready for anything that happens. And that is a deterrent in itself.

“If it takes you weeks or months to do something, then your adversary knows what other choices, so I think readiness speaks volumes.

“This is one of the most ready battle groups, we have in NATO and that means it’s not to be underestimated.”

Mr Wallace warned that the Putin regime’s use of chemical weapons to try assassinate its foes such as the 2018 Salisbury attack risked “killing thousands” if it were to go wrong.
