LONDON - U.S. President Donald Trump wants to see a successful British exit from the European Union that Washington will support with a U.S.-UK free trade agreement, national security adviser John Bolton told British officials on Monday.
A central message Bolton was making is that the United States will help cushion Britain’s exit from the EU with a free trade agreement that is being negotiated by U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and his British counterpart, Liz Truss. Trump believes that “when it comes to trade negotiations the EU is worse than China, only smaller,” the official said.
On Tuesday, Bolton is to meet Truss as well as Ben Wallace, the new defense minister and Steven Barclay, the secretary of state for exiting the European Union, among other officials. British marines seized an Iranian vessel, which is suspected of smuggling oil to Syria, off the coast of Gibraltar on July 4. This month, Britain joined the United States in a maritime security mission in the Gulf to protect merchant vessels.
