Trump promises Britain a substantial post-Brexit trade deal | IOL News

London - Donald Trump promised Britain a substantial post-Brexit trade deal with the United States on Tuesday, quipping to outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May that she should stick around to clinch it though she is due to step down in two days' time.

"We'll have a very, very substantial trade deal, it'll be a very fair deal, and I think it's something we both want to do," Trump told May at a meeting in St James's Palace, a 500-year-old official residence of the monarch. Ahead of the visit, Trump praised Johnson, the former foreign secretary and leading Brexit campaigner, and advised a sharp exit from the European Union on Oct. 31 with or without a deal.

"We've been clear: Our ask is that our allies and our partners and our friends don’t do anything that would endanger our shared security interests or restrict our ability to share sensitive information," US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said. A giant inflatable blimp depicting Trump as a pouting baby in a diaper was raised outside the British parliament in London on Tuesday ahead of what is expected to be one of the city's largest protests against a foreign leader.
