London, Thanasis Gavos

To downplay the feud that broke out among his staff Donald Trump and of the Labor Party attempted by the leader of the latter and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Sir Keir Starmer.

The team of the US presidential contender has filed a formal complaint with the independent Federal Election Commission against the ruling British party for “illegal foreign contributions and interference” in the election campaign of Kamala Harris.

This “blatant foreign interference” consists, as alleged, of support for Donald Trump’s opponent by members of the Labor Party who have traveled to the US to help the Democratic candidate’s campaign, and contacts of Labor officials with the staff of Ms. Grace.

During the 28-hour trip to Samoa for the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting, Mr Starmer told accompanying reporters that he had built a “good relationship” with Donald Trump which was not at risk from the complaint.

He emphasized that the members of his party who have gone to America have done so voluntarily and not as emissaries of the Labor Party. “The Labor Party has volunteers who have been there in almost every election,” he added.

The Labor Party has emphasized that it is not funding the travel of these volunteers. However, the complaint from Trump’s staff states that in recent months, Downing Street chief of staff Morgan McSweeney and Prime Minister’s Office communications director Matthew Doyle have traveled to the US to advise Ms. Harris’s staff.
