anyway, nigel faraj tweets that downing streept needs to accept the world is changing and he is in "ad position with the pl president-elect support to help." needless to say, wolf, unprecedented or extremely rare to have the coming leader of one country telling another leader who it should appoint as its ambassador, but i think given the depth and history and closeness and importance of the relationship between the u.s. and the uk, it's particularly egregious and puts prime minister theresa may in a is likely awkward position, given this is coming on the heels of nigel faraj traveling to new york to meet with donald trump, the first british politician, toe sow speak, to actually sit down with the future president of the u.s., and more broadly speaking, it really alludes to what is making so many international leaders just a little nervous, which is that there is a sort of unknown quantity when it comes to donald trump. nobody yet knows exactly what kind of a president he's going to be, exactly what his policy will look like, but they do know he is going to dispense with the traditiona

nigel faraj welcomed the republican election win saying the brexit movement and the trump campaign had succeeded in reengaging disaffected voters with the political process. we want to go to julia chatterley in westminster. there are so many comparisons, but you pointed out this morning there are many differences between the two events as well. >> yeah, i think so. i think you're totally right in that they both managed to tap into a public anger and a diskon te discontent with the ruling parties. i believe if this were a flashback at elitism then we would have seen republicans lose and congress as well. we didn't see that. in my mind this is also a push back on hillary clinton, president obama, a democratic party that didn't work for the people. i think the significant differences here, perhaps they'll play out in the coming months. but i also think for the uk, this has connotations, whether it's brexit negotiations, a hardened stance on the countries like france as you were hearing there who have to fight populism of their own. security challenges, with the push back on donald trump o

embarrassment for her that the first british politician that trump talked to after getting elected was nigel faraj, that party that add voe can indicated for england's exit from the european union. >> we know the paradigm of trump is not the typical one we've been covering, but 12:58 bob corker walked into trump tower and at 1:45, pence left to have that luncheon with scott walker. we know he's not a part of that meeting taking place. again, mitt romney scheduled this dinner with donald trump coming up this evening. let's talk about donald trump and what he's doing for the people that got him this far. that is, this kind of thank-you tour. >> thursday we'll be there, we're packing our bag -- >> is your bag ever unpacked? >> no. it's really kind of a victory lap, the transition team talking about wanting to get the president-elect to states where he did well, where he won, to thank the voters that got him to the white house where he'll be in january. this is interesting because donald trump is a person, as a candidate, we saw him feed off the energy of the people that he was around. he liked going

york times" reports that when trump met with british politician nigel farage shortly after winning the aleelection, allegedly encouraged farajis not against the wind farms as a concept, but rather, quote, he just did not like those spoiling the views. a spokesman for trump initially disputed the subject of the meeting but later declined further comment when presented with details from those in attendance. the president-elect tweeted last night, quote, prior to the election, it was well known that i have interested in properties all over the world. only the crooked media makes this a big deal. >> so steven, obviously, this is something that perhaps jared will need to contend with and sort through because he does have so many interests across the globe. they're going to have to be extraordinarily careful. >> both the companies, the kushner kind of empire and the trump empire, they're doing well. it doesn't need to be sullied by conflict of interest. they have to make trump focus on, okay, your new job is coo of this country. let the trump empire run itself. >> the question i think is how quickly and is he divesting in his comp

nigel farage will head to washington to meet with trump team members. it's essentially a run around behind british prime minister theresa may, who unlike faraj, has yet torump tweeted many people would like to see farage represent great britain as their ambassador to the united states. the conservative government was quick to dismiss that suggestion. he told a brexit celebration party in london that while in the u.s., the revelation is total. in the uk, quote, we're still run by the career professional political class. >> speaking of brexit, maybe one of the unintended results will be a strong american dollar compared to the pound, giving americans more buying power abroad. joining us, matt bradley. what kind of effect are you seeing so far, matt? >> reporter: well, of course, this brexit happened about five months ago, or the vote for the brexitt happened five months, and ever since, the british pound has tanked by about 16%. now, that's very bad news for the british economy as a whole, but good news for exporters and retailers. you're starting to see some knock-on effects already. american tourists have increased by 8% this year from last year, and fo
