Boris Johnson: Former UK Prime Minister discusses Donald Trump, UK financial policy, US Election

Boris Johnson is praising the presidency of his friend and ally Donald Trump.  The former British Prime Minister has spoken exclusively to Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking on the eve of the US election, as final polling shows key battleground states could still go either way.  Johnson is commending the unpredictability of US democracy, compared with countries like China and Russia.  He says he has a good relationship with Kamala Harris, but he disagrees with the public perception of Trump.  Johnson says the former president was robust on Syria, Iran, and Russia.   He told Hosking that if Trump is a “nutjob”, there is definitely a method to his madness.  Johnson says another Donald Trump presidency could ease the war between Russia and Ukraine.  He says Trump has opposed aid to Ukraine only to separate himself from political opponents like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.   If elected, he says Trump would be stern on Putin and wouldn't allow NATO and the United States to be humiliated.  Johnson will be offering more of his insights as the the International Keynote Speaker at a one off “Long Lunch” event in Auckland this December.
