THE former US ambassador to the UN has urged Brexiteers to stay focused on “conquering” Europe during the exit negotiations.
He told the Ukip MEP yesterday that he made the trip to Britain on the day of the referendum “to experience a true declaration of independence”.
During an extraordinary interview, he said that the faster Britain leaves the bloc, the better for its future prosperity.
The former UN ambassador under George W Bush warned that any attempts to enter a transitional period after Brexit would ultimately be “misguided”.
