Trump: May's Brexit plan imperils US deal

US President Donald Trump has said Britain may not get a trade deal with the United States if Prime Minister Theresa May goes ahead with her plans as they stand for exiting the European Union.

In an interview with The Sun newspaper, Trump said May had failed to heed his advice by going ahead with a so-called soft Brexit strategy following meetings with her Cabinet last week.

"If they do a deal like that, we would be dealing with the European Union instead of dealing with the UK, so it will probably kill the deal," Trump said.
