Former US President Donald Trump has filed a complaint accusing the UK’s Labour Party of interfering in the upcoming US presidential election. He claims that the Labour Party is trying to help Kamala Harris win the election. The complaint was filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) earlier this week and includes media reports and social media posts as evidence.
What Are Trump’s Allegations?
According to Trump, senior Labour Party strategists have met with people from Kamala Harris’ campaign team. He also says that a Labour Party official posted online about nearly 100 current and former Labour staff members who are planning to go to key battleground states in the US to campaign for Harris. Trump’s complaint argues that this could be considered “foreign interference” in the US election, which is illegal.
Why Is This a Big Deal?
Trump believes that these actions mean the Labour Party is illegally helping Harris. However, US campaign laws allow foreign nationals to volunteer for campaigns as long as they aren’t paid. So, it’s not clear if Labour’s involvement breaks any rules.
Is This Just a Political Move?
Some people think Trump’s complaint is a way to draw attention away from his own controversies. During his time as president, Trump faced an investigation over possible ties to Russian interference in the 2016 election, though no evidence was found. By making these claims, Trump could be trying to turn the tables and focus on his opponent.
Trump’s campaign co-manager, Susie Wiles, said that Harris’ team “can’t win over the American people without outside help,” further accusing them of seeking foreign influence.
What’s Next?
So far, neither Kamala Harris’ team nor the Labour Party has commented on Trump’s allegations. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who recently met Trump during the UN General Assembly, has said he’s open to working with any future US president.
