Leading Brexit campaigner and U.K. Independence Party leader Nigel Farage visited U.S. President-elect Donald Trump at his home in New York City on Saturday and a Trump aide said the pair had a "very productive" meeting.

"We're just tourists!" Farage joked with reporters after he was seen waiting for an elevator in the skyscraper's lobby.

In brief comments later to reporters, Kellyanne Conway, manager of Trump's election campaign, confirmed the pair met while the president-elect was upstairs in the Trump Tower, spending time with his family, receiving phone calls and visitors.
