President Trump said Tuesday the U. K. and U. S. have an opportunity to strike a “substantial” post-Brexit trade deal, even joking that departing Prime Minister Theresa May ought to stick around for it.
Speaking at a business roundtable, Mr. Trump said Britain’s ongoing effort to leave the European Union gives the nations a shot to “tremendously enlarge” their bilateral partnership.
“I think we will have a very, very substantial trade deal,” he said, flanked by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and chief aides at St. James Palace. “It will be a very fair deal, and I think that this is something that your folks want to do, my folks want to do, we want to do and we’re going to get it done.
