We can do a UK-US trade deal, says Trump after earlier criticism

We can do a UK-US trade deal, says Trump after earlier criticismU.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he looked forward to finalizing a post-Brexit trade deal with Britain, striking a contrasting tone to a newspaper interview when he said Prime Minister Theresa May's strategy would kill such an agreement. "We want to trade with the UK and the UK wants to trade with us," Trump said at a press conference with May in the garden of her official country residence Chequers. Last week at the same location, May finally won agreement for her Brexit strategy from her cabinet but within days, two senior ministers quit, which Trump said earlier in the week had left Britain in turmoil.
