LONDON: U.S. President Donald Trump wants to see a successful British exit from the European Union that Washington will support with a U.S.-UK free trade agreement, national security adviser John Bolton told British officials on Monday.
A senior Trump administration official, describing Bolton's message to British officials, said Trump"wants to see a successful British exit from the European Union" and that a trade deal would help Britain. Later he was to meet at No. 10 Downing Street with Edward Lister, who is Johnson's chief strategic adviser. Later in the day he planned to meet Sajid Javid, the new chancellor of the exchequer.
Britain has so far backed the European Union in sticking with the Iranian nuclear accord, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, but the seizure of a British oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz has put pressure on London to consider a more robust stance.
