President Trump on UK's political scenario
The President of the US, Donald Trump made a suggestion for the political scenario in Britain that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the Brexit Party leader Nigel Farge should come together in order to protect the trade interests of the country. When asked by the reporters which UK leader did he support, President Trump said that 'I like them both'. According to the US President, both UK politicians should work in synergy for the expansion of US-UK trade after Britain leaves the European Union.
Nigel Farage's reaction to Trump's concerns
Nigel Farge didn't stop at retweeting President Trump's interview with the reporters explaining the trade constraints with Britain after it is no longer the part of the European Union. He also targetted PM Johnson's deal saying that it is 'not Brexit' and that it 'does not get Brexit done'. Donald Trump said that the 'biggest economy in the world' US will be prohibited from doing trade with the UK which will be less beneficial for Britain as both countries can do much more business as opposed to the 27-nation-bloc. The US leader believes that since both UK lawmakers are his friends, they will definitely come up with a solution, 'its a possibility'.
President Trump just reiterated his concerns that @BorisJohnson’s new EU treaty stops us striking a trade deal with America.
