President Trump Warns U.K. Prime Minister May That Her Brexit Plan Would Kill Any U.S. - U.K. Deal



Daily Mail: Trump tells Theresa May her soft Brexit plan will 'kill' any US trade deal after Britain leaves the EU, adds Boris will make a great PM and blames Sadiq Khan for terrorism in explosive start to UK visit

* Trump said the PM has ignored his advice on Brexit negotiations, explaining: 'I would have done it differently'
* Sources close to president earlier warned lucrative transatlantic trade deal cannot happen with a soft Brexit
* It comes after May used a lavish welcome dinner for Trump at Blenheim Palace to press her case for a deal

President Donald Trump has warned Theresa May that her soft Brexit plan would 'kill the deal' between the US and Britain on trade, in an incendiary interview as his visit to Britain begins.

He also said the prime minister has ignored his advice on Brexit negotiations, explaining: 'I would have done it differently'.

Talking to The Sun before his trip to Britain, he said: '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. I actually told Theresa May how to do it, but she didn't listen to me'.

Sources close to the president earlier warned that a lucrative transatlantic trade deal would be impossible if the UK keeps close ties with Brussels - effectively meaning Britain must choose between the US and EU.

WNU Editor: President Trump's interview with The SUN is here .... TRUMP'S BREXIT BLAST I told May how to do Brexit but she wrecked it — the US trade deal is off, says Donald Trump (The SUN). As to the timing of his interview .... this is all happening at a time when Prime Minister Theresa May is facing a confidence crisis with members of her own party. My gut is telling me that President Trump is confident that Theresa May will be out of a job in the next week or two, so what he is doing now is positioning himself to deal with her successor.
