New York: Donald Trump’s campaign has accused British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party of “blatant foreign interference” in the US presidential election, following reports that some Labour volunteers traveled to assist Kamala Harris’ campaign.
Trump’s team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) in Washington, calling for an investigation into what they claim are illegal contributions from Labour to Harris’ campaign. The complaint centers on concerns that Labour’s involvement may have breached US election laws.
In response to the allegations, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer insisted that Labour supporters were volunteering in a personal capacity and that this issue would not affect UK-US relations if Trump were re-elected on November 5.
Under US election law, foreign nationals are allowed to volunteer for campaigns but are prohibited from making financial contributions. The allegations hinge on whether Labour paid for any volunteers’ travel or other expenses.
