'We can’t make a trade deal with the UK,' under the Brexit deal, President Trump told Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage on LBC radio today
Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal would prevent the U.K. from striking a trade agreement with the U.S., Donald Trump said., the U.S. president said: “To be honest with you, this deal, under certain aspects of the deal, you can’t do it. You can’t trade. We can’t make a trade deal with the UK.”
Trump added that under the Brexit deal agreed between Boris Johnson's government and the EU, “under certain ways we're precluded.” He said that was “completely ridiculous.” “We want to do trade with U.K. and they want to do trade with us,” Trump said, suggesting that trade between the two countries “could be four to five times higher”.when he said the then prime minister's Brexit strategy was likely to"kill" the chances of a trade deal with the U.S.
His comments to LBC now threaten to jeopardize Johnson’s election campaign. The prime minister has promised to negotiate a free trade agreement with the US after delivering Brexit.
