Trump torpedoes May Brexit Race – NRC

Donald Trump had barely left the luxury banquet with Theresa May and businessmen at Blenheim Palace and was still hanging in his helicopter, the Marine One, on North London when The Sun publishes an exclusive interview. Trump shrugs his shoulders in the May Brexit race newspaper and mingles unrestrainedly with the inner affairs of an ally.

Trump says the Americans are not signing a trade deal with the UK, while May is pursuing her plans for a milder Brexit. "If they enter into such an agreement, we are doing business with the EU rather than with the British.This would probably kill an agreement," Trump said in The Sun. If May maintains her plans to organize free trade for agricultural goods and products with the EU after Brexit, "this will end a major trade relationship with the United States," warns Trump. After the EU, the United States is the largest trading partner of the United Kingdom.

Listen to excerpts from Trump's interview by Sun:

Supporters of a Hard Brexit among conservatives, the May Party, see an Anglo-American trade deal as one of the biggest benefits of Brexit. They believe that far-reaching liberalization and market forces in protected sectors of the economy, such as British health care, are good for business and prosperity. Critics believe that a US trade deal gives less than close ties to the EU, the UK's biggest trading partner.

Another blow to Prime Minister May is Trumps' unwavering support for Boris Johnson, the Brexiters leader who resigned this week as Foreign Minister after many tragedies, by dissatisfaction with the approach of May. "He would once be a fantastic prime minister," said Trump. Trump's statements will pressure May from the right flank of his party.
