Trump: UK should be ready to leave EU without a deal
LONDON — President Donald Trump has waded into the most contentious issue in British politics by urging the U.K. government to leave the European Union without a deal if it can’t get better terms from EU leaders.
Trump told the Sunday Times in an interview that Britain should “walk away” from talks and refuse to pay a 39-billion pound ($49 billion) divorce bill if it doesn’t get better terms from the EU.
The president also says Brexit party leader Nigel Farage, an outspoken advocate of leaving the EU without a deal, should be given a role in the negotiations.
