“I gave the prime minister my ideas on how to negotiate it; and I think you would have been successful,' Trump said Thursday.
President Donald Trump criticized Prime Minister Theresa May's negotiating skills on Thursday, noting that he was “surprised” by how badly the Brexit negotiations were going and suggesting that he could have struck a deal more effectively.
Trump then went on to stress that a second vote on Brexit should not be held because it would be unfair to the side that won previously. The campaign for Britain to leave the European Union was led by British politician Nigel Farage, a political ally of President Trump. Some members of the British political opposition are calling for a new vote to be held because many in the U.K. voted to leave the EU based on false promises. The Leave campaign manipulated official statistics to create the appearance that Britain would be better off financially if it left the EU. What’s more, the population voted in favor of the Leave campaign by a slim margin of a little under 4 percent of votes.
Lawmakers have also rejected the idea of leaving the European Union without a deal. It’s now also possible that the U.K. will ask the European Union for an extension to continue negotiations. Lawmakers in Brussels are reportedly debating whether an extension is a good idea or whether it would only prolong the uncertainty. Many in Brussels noted that politicians in the U.K. are now so divided that it is possible the British Parliament will never agree on a deal.
