Brexit leader will attend GOP convention

Former UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage will attend the Republican convention in Cleveland next week, according to multiple reports.

“Having criticized President Obama for getting involved in British politics, I am not about to endorse anybody,” Farage told USA Today on Tuesday. “But I do know a lot of people in the Republican Party, and I’ll be interested to hear what Donald Trump has to say in his big speech.”

The British politician, who was a leader in the bid for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, would not say who invited him to the event since he is not a U.S. delegate, but confirmed it was not Trump, who supported Brexit.
