Steve Bannon, Mr Trump's chief strategist, will "run ideas" past the Ukip leader before discussing them with the British Prime Minister,

And he'll quickly find that Nigel has no input or inside knowledge on the workings of the UK Government. Trade, Defense, Diplomacy. None of this is anything to do with Farage. So unless they're just going to engage in locker room talk then it's a wasted phone call.
This is just about feeding Farage's massive ego. A man who thinks two of the largest economies in the world, two members of the UN security council and two senior members of the NATO alliance should forego the State Department and Foreign Office, bypass the Secretary of State and the Foreign Secretary and ignore all the existing diplomatic ties and conduct affairs though him, Ol' Nigel, instead. He
actually seemed quite upset that the Prime Minster of the United Kingdom chooses not to conduct her foreign policy though some jumped up egomaniac.
As for Steve Bannon it is a worrying sign of his amateurishness for the role.
