Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said that a free trade deal between the UK and the USA in the next few months is "absolutely" achievable.
Speaking to GB News, the Reform UK leader claimed Donald Trump may have to re-think his plans on taxes, and there are "big divisions" within his cabinet.
Following his extensive tariff announcement on countries around the world, the US President U-turned on his decision, confirming he would pause tariffs on 75 countries for 90 days.
Discussing the move, Trump claimed world leaders were "jumping a little bit out of line" and "getting yippy".
He added: "No other president would have done what I did. I know the presidents, they wouldn't have done it."

Speaking to GB News, Farage expressed confidence in the prospects of a UK-US trade agreement.
"We are in a much better position than our neighbours in Europe to negotiate a tariff-free package. I absolutely believe that that is achievable over the course of the next month or two," he said.
Farage addressed recent market turmoil related to Trump's tariff policies, suggesting the President may need to reconsider his approach.
"What happened is some of Donald Trump's biggest supporters said please, you've got to take your foot off the brake, otherwise we're going to be in big trouble," he told GB News.

"This is a reaction to the markets. Clearly his trade war with China is all too real," Farage noted.
He added that Trump's plan to use tariffs to fund tax cuts "may well need quite a big rethink" and pointed to "big divisions within the Trump cabinet over this."
Farage emphasised that the UK has distinct advantages over the EU in trade negotiations with the US.
"We're in a much better place to negotiate than the European Union is. Donald Trump actually likes us," he stated.

Farage revealed he has offered to assist the UK government in securing a trade deal with the US.
"I have made it absolutely clear that I would do anything I could to help us get a trade deal, to help us with any form of the relationship," he said.
However, he emphasised he would only act with official approval: "I have to have the sanction of the UK government to do it."
"If I go directly to the American administration, I will be interfering with British Government policy, and I'm not going to do that," Farage concluded.
