UK PM Johnson says most important trade deal is with the EU

“The single biggest deal that we need to do is a free trade agreement with our friends and partners over the Channel,” he told Sky News.

On Monday, U.S. national security adviser John Bolton said the United States would enthusiastically support a no-deal Brexit if that was what the British government decided to do and would seek to work fast on a free trade agreement.

“In my experience, the Americans are very tough negotiators indeed and we will do a great deal with them and it will open up opportunities for businesses, particularly services companies in the U.S,” Johnson said. “It will be a tough old haggle but we’ll get there.”
