Nigel Farage has hit back at US Vice President JD Vance after he dismissed Britain as a random country during a discussion about peace talks with Ukraine. The remarks came following President Donald Trump’s high-stakes meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In the aftermath, Vice President Vance argued that the United States should have an economic stake in Ukraine’s future and insisted that direct involvement was the only way to guarantee peace.
Vance then went on to criticize the proposed plan to send twenty thousand British and French troops to Ukraine as part of a peacekeeping mission. While voicing his disapproval of the strategy, he made a dismissive remark about Britain, calling it some random country that has not fought a war in thirty years.
