Both are my friends - and they need to safeguard prospects for expanded US-UK trade after Brexit, the US president says.

US President Donald Trump has urged British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage to come together to safeguard prospects for expanded US-UK trade after Britain leaves the European Union.

Farage on Sunday said he would not run for a seat in Parliament in Britain’s snap Dec 12 election, focusing instead on campaigning against Johnson’s EU divorce deal. The election was called because of an impasse in Parliament over Brexit, more than three years after voters decided to leave the bloc. Trump said Britain’s exit from the EU must be structured to facilitate continued trade between Britain and the United States.

Trump first waded into Britain’s election campaign last week, telling Farage in a radio interview that the leader of the left-wing opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, would be “so bad” for Britain if he wins.
