Trump wants US access to Britain’s food market, and Scotland to forget independence

 

‘US President Donald Trump has called for an expansive post-Brexit trade deal with Britain, offering American food producers greater access to the UK market. He also cautioned Scotland against holding a second vote on independence.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Trump called for one big deal that would “include everything.”
Asked whether such an agreement “could kick in pretty much as soon as Brexit happens,” Trump said “as soon as it’s appropriate to have it kick in, absolutely. And it’ll be a big trade deal – much, much more business than we do right now, many, many times.”
“We have a very good relationship. I have a very good relationship with the prime minister. And we are absolutely looking to do a major trade deal.”
Trump said the “very all-in” deal will involve greater trade in such sectors as financial services and agriculture.
This confirms fears chlorine-washed chicken and hormone-treated beef, currently banned under EU health regulations, may end up on the tables of British families after the UK withdraws from the European Union.’
