Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's campaign has filed a complaint with the US Federal Election Commission that Great Britain's ruling Labor Party influenced the election, several media reported.
The Trump campaign is pointing to Labor Party Operations Director Sophia Patel writing on social media that she has “ten seats left” for a trip to North Carolina where she aims to campaign for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
About a hundred party members have traveled to the US ahead of the November 5 election, Patel writes in the post, which has since been deleted. “We're solving the shelter,” she continues.
In formal complaint It also cited a news report about a link between Labor and the Harris campaign.
“Labor gave and the Harris campaign accepted illegal foreign contributions,” is the conclusion drawn by the Trump administration in the letter. They believe an “immediate investigation” of “clear foreign interference” is necessary.
Under US law, foreign nationals are allowed to campaign in presidential elections — as long as they're not compensated, write BBC. Labor insists it does not provide travel or accommodation for party volunteers.
Also Keir Starmer, Labor leader and the Prime Minister of Great Britain have commented on the allegations. Members travel to America as volunteers, he underlines.
– The Labor Party has volunteers who travel there every election. “They do it in their spare time, they go there as volunteers and live, I think, with other volunteers there,” he says. Sky News.
British Prime Minister insists Starmer's relationship with Trump is still good. In September, he visited New York and had dinner with Donald Trump. He has never met Kamala Harris.
He now said of the meeting with Trump:
– We had a good, constructive debate, and of course, as Prime Minister of Great Britain, I will cooperate with whoever the American people choose as president in the election.
