UK-U.S. trade deal will not make up for leaving the EU – minister
A post-Brexit trade deal with the United States would not be enough to make up for leaving the European Union, British justice minister David Lidington said on Sunday, tempering Prime Minister Theresa May's enthusiasm about the U.S. offer. May had warmly welcomed assurances on Saturday by U.S. President Donald Trump that a "very powerful" trade deal with Britain would be reached "very, very quickly" after Britain leaves the EU.
