National Security Advisor John Bolton said the US President is a supporter of Brexit and is looking forward to striking an agreement on trade with the UK. He told Sky News: “President Trump has made it clear that he looks forward to a day the US and the UK can negotiate a bilateral agreement that will be beneficial to both countries and see the will of the people carried out. It’ll be up to the Conservatives to pick a new leader then to see what happens in the negotiation process.”

Earlier today, Mr Trump lavished praise on his “friends” Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson ahead of his state visit to the UK next week.

Speaking outside the White House, the US President described the Brexiteers as “very good guys”, and revealed he “may” meet them during his time in Britain.

He said: “Nigel Farage is a friend of mine, Boris is a friend of mine. They’re two very good guys, very interesting people.”
