Nigel Farage reportedly urged U.S. President Donald Trump to support a no-deal Brexit when they met face-to-face in Washington earlier this month.
The former UKIP leader, who campaigned for then-candidate Trump in 2016, met the Republican President at the Conservative Political Action Conference on March 2.
A photograph of the meeting shows both men smiling to the camera with their thumbs raised.
Mr Farage likened Brexit to Mr Trump's negotiations with North Korea and said it was better to walk away with no deal, the Daily Telegraph reported.

'I was talking to him about Vietnam, where he had said that a bad deal was on the table so sometimes you have to walk. That was the exact quote from Trump,' Mr Farage told the newspaper.
He added: 'I said in the case of Vietnam that no deal was better than a bad deal and I gave my opinion that the same principle applied to Brexit.'
Mr Farage said the Trump White House 'firmly believes in the nation state' rather than 'supranational structures' such as the EU.
'I think it's fair to say they see Brexit as a great opportunity,' he said.
'This American administration firmly believes in the nation state, not supranational structures and this administration are hugely keen on the defence, security and indeed business relationships that exist between our two countries.

'And I think it's fair to say they see Brexit as a great opportunity.'
President Trump became friends during his campaign when the former UKIPleader, dubbed 'Mr Brexit', was greeted at a rally in Mississippi before the 2016 election.
The two were also pictured just after the election, in a golden elevator at Trump Tower in New York, where Mr Farage appeared to be spearheading a new relationship between the UK and US.
President Trump has spoken highly of Mr Farage in the past, stating that he would do 'a great job' as British ambassador to the United States.
The president had urged Theresa May not to walk away from a deal with the European Union outside Chequers in July 2018 - though he has been critical of the Brexit deal, warning it will limit a US-UK free trade deal.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
