UK Trade Minister Liam Fox said he’s backing Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt in the race to be the next Prime Minister. He told BBC radio, “in this contest I’ll be backing my friend Jeremy Hunt who is an impressive foreign secretary, an entrepreneur by background, where dealmaking is part of his DNA,”
Fox added, “he understands that we have to message to Europe that we will leave if we cannot get an appropriate deal, but we’ll try to get a deal.” Meanwhile, Fox also warned of “the prospect of a no deal might well be used by those who seek to break up the UK, to use that as a weapon in that particular battle, both I think in Northern Ireland and potentially in Scotland.”
