A recent controversy involving the Labour Party has sparked a response from the Trump campaign, which accused the party of "blatant foreign interference." However, an expert in American

politics has clarified that the actions in question do not violate U.S. election laws.

David Andersen, an Associate Professor of United States politics at Durham University, explained to the BBC that it is not unusual for individuals to personally fund trips to the U.S. to support political campaigns. "It’s actually fairly common during presidential elections," he said, emphasizing that such volunteer efforts do not constitute illegal interference.

Furthermore, Andersen noted that it is not uncommon for ideologically aligned political parties from different countries to collaborate by exchanging strategies and campaign tactics.

He characterized the Trump campaign's complaint as part of a broader strategy to create doubt about the integrity of the election. "This is an attempt to deflect from potential accusations that their own campaign might have coordinated with foreign governments," Andersen added. Photo by wwikimedia commons.
