		</div><p>US President Donald Trump has praised two of Theresa May’s political rivals just days before his state visit to the UK.</p>
<p>Mr Trump will be in the UK for a three-day visit from June 3-5 and his comments risk embarrassing the British Prime Minister, who is due to quit as Tory leader later that week.</p>
<p>Mr Trump hinted that he may meet Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage and Tory leadership frontrunner Boris Johnson during his trip, describing both men as friends.</p>
<p>And he highlighted the Brexit Party’s success in the European elections, where Mr Farage’s outfit helped to humiliate Mrs May’s Conservatives.</p>
<p>Speaking to reporters in Washington, Mr Trump said: <em>“Nigel Farage is a friend of mine. Boris is a friend of mine. They are two very good guys, very interesting people.”</em></p>
<p>In a reference to the European elections he said: <em>“Nigel’s had a big victory, he’s picked up 32% of the vote starting from nothing.</em></p>
<p><em>“I think they are big powers over there, I think they have done a good job.”</em></p>
<p>The president’s comments came in response to a question about whether he would be meeting them during his visit.</p>
<p>Mr Trump said he “liked” both men but <em>“I haven’t thought about supporting them, maybe it’s not my business to support people”.</em></p>
<p><em>“But I have a lot of respect for both men.”</em></p>
<p>Brexit Party sources would not respond to Mr Trump’s comments on a potential meeting but pointed out Mr Farage will be in Brussels for at least part of next week.</p>
<p>The party is also focused on seeking to win its first MP in the June 6 Peterborough by-election.</p>
