Panicked EU chiefs have scurried to invite Donald Trump to discuss trade negotiations over fears he would rather deal directly with Britain.
The move would be a hammer blow toBrussels, which is still reeling from the UK's decision to leave Europe in June.
Referring to Trump's slogan of 'Let's Make America Great
Again', Europe's top brass Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk told reporters Europe and the United States 'simply have no option but to cooperate as closely as possible'.
Ukip figurehead Nigel Farage, who flew to the US to offer his services to Mr Trump, said Britain would benefit from having a President 'who likes our country and understands our post-Brexit values'.
He said the 'establishment is in deep shock' after Mr Trump's unexpected victory over Hillary Clinton, describing it it as 'bigger than Brexit'.
Mr Farage, nicknamed 'Mr Brexit' by his friend Mr Trump,said: 'Voters across the Western world want nation state democracy, proper border controls and to be in charge of their own lives.
'I commend Donald Trump for the courage with which he has fought this campaign and I look forward to a closer relationship between the US and the UK.
'We now have a President who likes our country and understands our post-Brexit values.
'Prepare for further political shocks in the years to come.'
Again', Europe's top brass Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk told reporters Europe and the United States 'simply have no option but to cooperate as closely as possible'.
