LONDON: US National Security Advisor John Bolton said on Monday that Washington wanted"to move very quickly" on a trade deal with Britain after it leaves the EU, and that the White House would wait until after Brexit to address various security concerns.
"The message I wanted to convey on Iran, and on some other issues in which I include China, 5G, Huawei, that cluster of issues, is that the President and the US government fully understands that in the next few days the UK government has a singular focus on the Brexit issue," he said. Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson has pledged to take Britain out of the EU on Oct 31 with or without a divorce deal.
But a clean break with the EU would allow the UK to immediately launch negotiations on a free trade agreement with the United States.
