Trump 'keen for UK trade deal, surprised Brexit taking so long'

President Trump is keen for the UK to become an independent country and still wants to seal bumper trade deal – but is concerned that it is all taking so long.

A senior White House source has been quoted as saying: “The President is keen for Britain to get out of the EU so we can get on with doing a great trade deal. He’s surprised it’s taking so long.”

It underlines the downside of a lengthy, drawn out approach to Brexit that means the UK won’t be able to enact any deals until 2021.

The source also said that Trump was “looking forward” to his visit to the UK.

A US President keen to get going with a US-UK deal. And there are idiots who want to protest against making the special relationship great again…
