” As the U.K. makes preparations to exit the European\nUnion, the United States is committed to a phenomenal trade deal between the\nU.S. and the U.K.,\u201d, Trump told a joint news conference with UK Prime Minister\nTheresa May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
” There is tremendous potential in that trade deal \u2014 I\nsay probably two and even three times of what we are doing right now,\u201d Trump\ntold reporters after meeting the prime minister for an hour-long talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump said he believed Britain’s exit from the EU would and\nshould happen in response to questions about the current impasse that has\nhelped oust the prime minister, who will step down as Conservative Party leader\non Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talks with May on Tuesday covered a variety of controversial\nissues, including climate change, trade and the tensions with Iran. It should\nbe noted that the United Kingdom is not allowed to open formal trade talks with\nother countries until the bloc is completely left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
