Hillary Clinton Warns Britain on Potential Trade Deal with Trump
VOA, Reuters ^ | October 15, 2017 | VOA, Reuters

LONDON — Former U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton cautioned Britain on Sunday over its push to secure a trade deal with U.S. President Donald Trump after it leaves the European Union.

Clinton, the Democratic Party candidate who lost out to Trump in last November's election, also said Britain would face serious disruption if it left the EU without a negotiated deal with Brussels.

The British government has talked up the prospect of bilateral trade deals with the United States and others as one of the major benefits of leaving the EU following last year's surprise referendum vote to leave.

Asked about the prospects of a British-U.S. deal, Clinton told the BBC: "You're making a trade deal with somebody who says he doesn't believe in trade, so I'm not quite sure how that's going to play out over the next few years."

British Prime Minister Theresa May visited Trump in January to talk trade. The countries share $200 billion of trade each year.

But May has since intervened in a dispute between U.S. aerospace firm Boeing and Canadian planemaker Bombardier, lobbying in the interests of Bombardier to try to protect jobs at its factory in Northern Ireland.

Clinton also said Britain would be at a "very big disadvantage" if divorce negotiations with the EU failed, and went on to compare the factors behind the Brexit vote to her own election loss.

"Looking at the Brexit vote now it was a precursor to some extent to what happened to us in the United States... The amount of fabricated, false information that your voters were given by the 'Leave' campaign," she said.

She said her own presidential campaign was subject to similar treatment, citing the spread of false stories by online news outlets, and warned that Britain and other countries must be alert to the risks of such new media.

"The big lie is a very potent tool," she said.

2) She's stupid
3) She's treasonous

Hillary is not our secretary of state. Hillary is not our trade representative. Hillary is trying to harm the United States by damaging foreign relations.

This B##CH is trying to UNDERMINE American foreign policy while abroad, treasonous behavior!!!

And what a bleeping liar she is, of course President Trump never said he doesn’t “believe in trade” — she is pure lying evil wretch. He believes in making better deals than what charlatans like the Clintons have left us with. That does not mean he believes in no trade at all.

This woman is demented.

"... somebody who says he doesn't believe in trade"

Does anyone recall Trump ever saying this?

I so appreciate these loonies opening up so many new tactics (that our side would never in a million years of thought of, much less used) against the next far-left Democrat president.

Hillary, if they wanted your advise, they would ask for it. Now be a nice girl and go back to your bed, its true, you did loose and its over. Go play with your red buttons if you can’t sleep.

Note to U.K. - You need Billary Inc.’s advice on foreign relations about as much the U.S. needs Harvey Weinstein’s advice on public morals.

If you follow the link to the article at the Voice of America site, you’ll see a “Reuters” link. Why is Voice of America using Reuters as a reporter? Reuters is a private company based in London. It’s British.
