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.
I would find it amusing if this traitor wretch received justice.

I'm sure the Brits and Eurowienies are eating this up. They'll probably make her their new queen.
she is worried her world is over and every success that she opposes is evidence of that.
Everything she and Obama did was done with precise calculation to destabilize the United States and the world. She was not a loser as what the two terms of Obama has done was their intention from the start. If they create turmoil throughout the world they and their One World Government partners can attempt to take over.
Kneel before the globalist masters, peasants, and apologize for Brexit and Trump.
Her “warning” carries as much weight as it were given by Maxine Waters. And old Mad Maxine is less mad.
Keep talking Hillary. She’s sucking all the wind out of the Democrats on her British “Whine” tour. I guarantee the DNC and the potential 2020 presidential field wants this woman to get off the stage. Sorry Dems. The Clintons are bought, paid for, and they’re yours forever! Enjoy them causing havoc in your nomination struggle in 2020!
Her continuous post election rant is nothing more than trying to frame her upcoming indictment as political prosecution.
Not sure if this would be treason, legally speaking, but in my own mind, it is. Maybe someone knows and will comment.
She would probably just say she was voicing her opinion.
I do know this, as a former First Lady, a US senator, and US SOS, she should know better than to go to another country and undermine a sitting president, but who will say anything to her?
She appears desperate and crazy (and I hope they take it that way and realize she’s nuts and won’t take her seriously).
She’s guilty of treason for many other things, though, and anyone else would be in prison. She should be.
“Treason.”
Wouldn’t it be nice if one of the Bushes came out and said this? How about W? Think he might show some courage? The fact the whole familty are still friends with the Clinton’s tells me all I need to know about them.
Good one !
Yes, she’s a psycho. She’s also wants a one-government world.
Yeah, Hillary, you bet.
Please add “Hildo” to the list its my fav. Bigfoot is another. Cheers!!
At what point does she get arrested?
STFU Hlldog.
Yank her secret service
Detail if she has one she doesn’t like guns anyhow.
I do believe that is illegal
She needs to shut up and go away. Permanently.
