Trump warned that Brexit agreement favours EU and makes trade with US difficult

Donald Trump has warned that Theresa May’s Brexit agreement may make trade with US more difficult.

The Independent reports that the US president said the deal sounded like it would be good for the European Union, before expressing concern about where the it left trade between Britain and his country.

“I think we have to take a look seriously whether or not the UK is allowed to trade. Because right now if you look at the deal, they may not be able to trade with us,” he told reporters outside the White House. “And that wouldn’t be a good thing. I don’t think they meant that.”

He added that he hoped Ms May would be able to address the problem, but he did not specify which provision of the deal he was concerned about
