LONDON - With the showy, royal puffery of the Queen's banquet at Buckingham Palace and tea with Prince Charles over, President Donald Trump turned to business on Tuesday , and the possibility of a trade deal once Britain finally leaves the European Union.
In brief remarks at the beginning of the business meeting on Tuesday, Mr Trump said,"I think we will have a very, very substantial trade deal." One of Mr Trump's allies, former foreign secretary Boris Johnson, is a top contender. Another Trump friend, Mr Nigel Farage, just won big in the European Parliament elections, trouncing Mrs May's Conservatives.
Mrs May's Health Secretary, Matt Hancock, retorted that Britain's beloved National Health Service was"not for sale". His delegation, heavy on family members and staff, also includes Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and other officials focused on a trade package.
