Speaking to CNN from Brussels, Mr Farage told US viewers to "imagine if a court in Mexico could overrule, and imagine if you had free movement of people with Mexico".

He said: "How would you feel? You wouldn’t like it. What we are doing in the UK, we are reasserting our democratic rights, and in terms of business and trade we’ll go on trading."

The Ukip leader continued by praising Mr Trump's presidential campaign but played down comparisons between Brexit and the billionaire's surprise rise, saying the UK faced "far bigger problems" than America.

Mr Farage told CNN: "What Mr Trump is doing in America is very different than what I am trying to do in the United Kingdom. My problem in politics is far greater than Donald Trump's.

"We literally have lost our sovereignty, lost our borders, lost our ability to regulate. The problem you’ve got in the US is illegal immigration. Our problem is legal immigration to half a billion people." Nigel Farage said Donald Trump would be "better for the UK" than Barack Obama

The likely Republican nominee has insisted the UK would remain at the front of the line in terms of trade deals, despite voting to leave the European Union.

Mr Farage continued: "I think, for the United Kingdom, Trump will be better for us than Barack Obama’s been, of that there’s no doubt."

He added: "Donald Trump dares to talk about things that other people want to brush under the carpet."

Mr Trump was informed of the Brexit result on a visit to his golf course in Scotland, and took to Twitter to claim the UK had "taken back its country", echoing the words of Mr Farage and the Leave campaign.

The Ukip leader and MEP concluded his interview by criticising Mr Trump's likely presidential rival Hillary Clinton, saying she represented the "political elite."

He expressed: "There's nothing on earth that could convince me to vote for Hilary Clinton."

Mr Farage's comments came the same day that he was widely mocked in the European parliament, as he attempted to discuss EU-UK trade deals.
