President Trump and British PM Johnson are seeking to make a symbolic show of unity at their first meeting this month by announcing progress in bilateral trade negotiations ahead of the UK's planned exit from the EU in October, senior US official says.
LONDON — President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson are seeking to make a symbolic show of unity on the world stage at their first meeting later this month by announcing progress in bilateral trade negotiations ahead of the United Kingdom’s planned exit from the European Union in October, a senior U.S. official said Tuesday.
Aides to Trump and Johnson are laying the groundwork for an announcement on the issue when they meet on the sidelines of the G-7 summit in France in two weeks. Such a statement could outline a road map for negotiations and how the two countries envision their future trade ties, the official said. Johnson, who was elected prime minister last month, has promised that the U.K. will leave the E.U. by Oct. 31. The deadline has set off a scramble within the Trump administration to prepare for the move on a multitude of fronts, including security and trade.
The British government has been more cautious about characterizing talks with U.S. officials on trade, pointing to E.U. rules that preclude members from signing bilateral trade agreements while part of the European bloc.
