Farage on Trump: EU Is ‘Absolutely Terrified of Him – Good’

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. – Nigel Farage, former leader of the UK Independence Party, told PJM that there is “nothing to be lost” with President Trump meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying that Trump has to show he’s “not going to be a pushover.”
“Well, he has to show he wants to have a better relationship with Russia. 
He believes we have shared common interests in dealing with Islamic terrorism and issues like that but he’s not going to be a pushover — that’s what you’ve got to show,” Farage said during an interview Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference outside Washington.
“He’s going to say, ‘Look, you’ve behaved badly but we want to form a grown-up relationship with you.’ 
One thing is for certain, there’s nothing to be lost with him meeting Putin. Nothing at all,” he added.
Farage rejected the notion that the U.S. cannot make a good deal with Russia.
“They are small-minded, very silly people who don’t understand there is a thing in life called human chemistry. Trump himself said 'I may not get along with him,' but the very fact he is prepared to meet is grown-up policy. 
The great Winston Churchill said jaw-jaw is better than war-war and I’m with that,” he said..."
