US president says trade deal with UK could be done ‘very quickly.’

Donald Trump has called on Britain to go for a no-deal Brexit if it does not like the terms offered by the EU.

"If they don’t get what they want, I would walk away,” Trump told Britain's Sunday Times ahead of his state visit to the U.K., which begins on Monday. “Yes, I would walk away. If you don’t get the deal you want, if you don’t get a fair deal, then you walk away.”

Trump also criticized the deal negotiated with the EU, particularly the post-Brexit transition period during which the U.K. would not be able to strike its own trade deals.

“One of the things that was, I think, very bad is to have this two-year moratorium on trade. That is terrible. That is a tremendous penalty," he said. “We have the potential to be an incredible trade partner with the U.K. We’re doing relatively little compared to what we could be doing with U.K. ... I think much bigger than European Union.”

8. Maybe that will help the Remain side, if they rerun the referendum.

9. He is already hugely unpopular

And the butt of a thousand jokes in the UK. This should just about seal the fate of his visit. He will be loathed where ever he goes.

Everything Trump touches turns to shit so GB better steer clear of his advice.
