White House national security adviser John Bolton encouraged the U.K. to move forward with a no-deal Brexit after meeting with Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday and said the U.S. is prepared to quickly establish alternative trade arrangements with the U.K. after it disentangles itself from Brussels.
After meeting with Johnson at No. 10 Downing Street, Bolton told reporters that the Trump administration would be willing to reach a “series of agreements” governing trade in different sectors of the economy “very quickly, very straight-forwardly” so that they will be in place for the U.K.’s October 31 Brexit deadline, the BBC reports.
“To be clear, in the Trump administration, Britain’s constantly at the front of the trade queue, or line as we say. We want to move very quickly. We wish we could have moved further along in this with the prior government,” Bolton said.
Bolton’s comments come as negotiations between Johnson’s government and Brussels have reached an impasse.
