Trump blasted UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s “business-friendly” Brexit plan, which was formally published yesterday, in The Sun newspaper interview. That came just hours ahead of their dinner at the Blenheim Palace. He criticized that “if they do a deal like that, we would be dealing with the European Union instead of dealing with the UK, so it will probably kill the deal.”
And he warned that the “soft” approach of May would “definitely affect trade with the United States, unfortunately in a negative way”. And, “if they do that I would say that that would probably end a major trade relationship with the United States.”
Trump also disclosed that he tried to interfere with the relationship between UK and EU. “I would have done it much differently,” Trump told The Sun. “I actually told Theresa May how to do it but she didn’t agree, she didn’t listen to me. . . . I think what is going on is very unfortunate.”
