Donald Trump suggested that Theresa May's Brexit deal could threaten a trade deal between the UK and the UK.
The US president told reporters that the withdrawal agreement "seemed like a very good deal for the EU" and meant that the UK might not be able to trade with the United States .
No 10 insisted that it was "very clear" that the UK would be able to sign trade agreements with countries around the world.
In the meantime, the Prime Minister will later say that his contract "keeps its promises in every corner of the UK" during visits to Wales and the North.
Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Trump said, "For now, if you look at the deal, [the UK] may not be able to trade with us. And that would not be a good thing. I do not think that they meant that. "
It seems that Trump has hinted that the deal could leave Britain unable to negotiate a free trade agreement with the United States.
However, responding to Trump's comments, a Downing Street spokesman said the Brexit withdrawal agreement reached on Sunday would allow the UK to sign bilateral agreements with countries, including the United States. .
"We have already set the stage for an ambitious agreement with the United States through our joint working groups, which have already met five times," the spokesman added.
The comments were made after Ms. May fought on Monday the criticism of her Brexit deal with MPs from all sides of the House of Commons, insisting on the agreement "given to the British people" by taking back control laws, money and borders.
MEPs will vote on the acceptance of the agreement on December 11.
