Trump: Brexit plan 'will probably kill' US trade deal
Last edited Thu Jul 12, 2018, 07:39 PM - Edit history (1)
The president told The Sun newspaper that the UK's blueprint for its post-Brexit relations with the EU was "a much different deal than the people voted on".
On the subject of a future trade deal, he said the Chequers deal would mean it would be "most likely ... we would be dealing with the European Union instead of dealing with the UK, so it will probably kill the deal".
He said he had told Mrs May how to do a Brexit deal, but: "She didn't agree, she didn't listen to me."
"I told her how to do it. That will be up to her to say. But I told her how to do it. She wanted to go a different route," he said.

After Trump's threats to pull out of NATO, Britain would be well served to reverse Brexit and prepare for a NATO without the US. Similarly, Canada should seriously consider EU membership. JMHO.
