Donald Trump's campaign has accused British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labour Party of "blatant foreign interference" in the U.S. presidential election, citing the party's volunteers who traveled to the U.S. to support Kamala Harris's campaign. The campaign has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, urging an immediate investigation into what it describes as "apparent illegal foreign national contributions made by the Labour Party of the United Kingdom and accepted by Harris for President."

The complaint referenced media reports and a now-deleted LinkedIn post by Sofia Patel, head of operations for the Labour Party, in which she stated that "nearly 100" current and former Labour staff would be traveling to the U.S. soon to support Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice president. The complaint letter stated, "Those searching for foreign interference in our elections need to look no further than that LinkedIn post. The interference is occurring in plain sight."

The centre-left Labour Party, which views the U.S. Democrats as its sister party, won power in July. Since then, leader Keir Starmer has worked to strengthen ties with Donald Trump, meeting him at Trump Tower during a September visit to New York. While traveling to Samoa, Starmer mentioned he doesn't anticipate that a recent complaint would affect relations with Trump if he wins the election on November 5, noting that Labour volunteers have been involved in nearly every U.S. election.

They're doing it in their spare time, they're doing it as volunteers, they're staying I think with other volunteers over there," he said.

"That's what they've done in previous elections, that's what they're doing in this election and that's really straightforward."
