Without knowing the details, Trump questioned if the Brexit deal with EU with hamper trade with the US. But UK PM May’s office quickly clarified and corrected Trump’s claim.
Trump said to reporters outside the White House that “I think we have to take a look seriously whether or not the UK is allowed to trade.” And, he added, “because right now if you look at the deal, they may not be able to trade with us.”
May’s office then said “the political declaration we have agreed with the EU is very clear we will have an independent trade policy so that the UK can sign trade deals with countries around the world — including with the US.” And, “we have already been laying the groundwork for an ambitious agreement with the US through our joint working groups, which have met five times so far.”
