Oxon Hill, Md. — Key Brexit figure Nigel Farage said Friday President Trump was right to pursue his national border emergency, despite pressure from Senate Republicans to reverse course.

“Well, I think actually the whole question of borders and security is something that is very upper most in minds of ordinary people, but very often played down amongst the political class. And I think Trump is right to make an issue of this, absolutely I do,” Farage told the Washington Examiner at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
