Donald Trump posted a video of a “Free Tommy Robinson” march chanting his name on social media, saying it was “amazing to see”.
The US President posted on Truth Social footage of a far-right march that took place in July 2018 – during his first term – which coincided with his visit to the UK.
The post came shortly after Keir Starmer told Volodymyr Zelensky that he had Britain’s “unwavering support” – following the Ukraine president’s angry rejection of Donald Trump’s proposals for a deal to end the war.

It’s an acutely sensitive moment for relations with the US, as Europe risks angering the US President by standing firm behind Ukraine’s refusal to give up territory following Putin’s illegal invasion.
The video shows a crowd of a few thousand people on Whitehall chanting “We Love Trump” as a speaker on stage declared the “deplorables” of the UK backed him.
Trump sparked shock and anger during his first term by retweeting videos made by Jay Fransen, the leader of Britain First.
And his former adviser Steve Bannon repeatedly called for Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon to be released from prison, while he was locked up for contempt of court after making false claims about a refugee.
And it was reported at the time of the rally that Sam Brownback, Trump’s ambassador for international religious freedom had raised concerns over Robinson’s safety in prison with the British ambassador in Washington.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday rejected the idea that his country would give up land to end the war with Russia after U.S. President Donald Trump suggested a peace deal could include “some swapping of territories.”
Zelensky said Ukraine “will not give Russia any awards for what it has done” and that “Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier.”
The remarks came after Trump said Friday that he would meet with Vladimir Putin even if the Russian leader would not meet with Zelenskyy.
