White House national security adviser John Bolton said on Friday that President Donald Trump is eager for a U.S. trade deal with Britain once it breaks away from the European Union.

“President Trump remains very eager to cut a bilateral trade deal with an independent Britain. It’s what the people voted for in 2016, and when they get out, whether it’s now, April 12 or later, we’ll be standing right there waiting for them,” Bolton said in an interview with Reuters Television.

As for whether Britain should hold a second Brexit referendum, Bolton said the vote from the first one in 2016 was clear.

“In the European Union they like to say, ‘we make the people vote until they get it right,’ meaning pro-EU votes. So I guess I’d say if you’re going to hold a second referendum and ‘remain’ wins, they ought to hold a third referendum and call it best two out of three,” said Bolton. …

Trump has said all along he would do this. Britain is better off with a hard Brexit and then start cutting its own trade deals.

Yes, aided and abetted by the same globalist bastards who are trying to sabotage brexit, not the British people.

“Exclusive: Trump eager for trade deal with post-Brexit Britain - Bolton to Reuters TV”

the exact opposite of that P.o.S. obama who said that an independent U.K. would have to go to the back of the line for any new trade deal ...

Reuters probably “forgot” (again). So Bolton just reminded them in this interview.

The question is, why doesn’t the us and uk already have a trade agreement ready for the post Brexit world? The UK has already concluded deals with Switzerland, Fiji and Papua New Guinea

You know it would be basic gentlemanly behavior to copy me when you make false statements about me.

Because of Remainer Theresa May, for starters. Remember her spats with Trump where she voiced her disapproval of his rejection of liberalism?
