WASHINGTON: Britain was seeking to fast-track a crucial post-Brexit trade deal with the United States on Wednesday after new Prime Minister Boris Johnson dispatched his top diplomat and foreign trade minister to Washington.
"Negotiating and signing an exciting new free trade agreement with the US is one of my top priorities," said Truss, who was a cheerleader for the leave camp in the 2016 referendum on Britain's membership of the EU. After his first phone call with Johnson, Trump told reporters that a bilateral deal with post-Brexit Britain could be"three to four, five times" bigger than current trade and once London is out of the European Union"we could do much more."
But there are warnings that Johnson's willingness to leave the EU without a negotiated settlement with Britain's longtime partners will play into the hands of Trump who prides himself on being a master negotiator.
