Trump's Brexit Blast

In an extraordinary intervention timed to coincide with his UK visit, Mr Trump said Theresa May ignored his advice by opting for a soft Brexit strategy.

And he warned her any attempts to maintain close ties with the EU would make a lucrative US trade deal very unlikely.

Mr Trump said: “If they do a deal like that, we would be dealing with the European Union instead of dealing with the UK, so it will probably kill the deal.”

His comments, deeply damaging to the PM, come as he delivers his most brutally honest verdict yet on Britain in which he also:

    Accused EU leaders of destroying its culture and identity by allowing in millions of migrants
    Tore into London Mayor Sadiq Khan for not standing up to terrorists
    Blamed Khan for spiralling crime in the capital
    Insisted former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson would make “a great Prime Minister”
    Denied once branding Theresa May a “bossy schoolteacher”
    Maintained he would keep ties with Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin despite the Salisbury Novichok poisonings
    Demanded Britain and other Nato countries spend more on defence
    Spoke of his sadness at feeling unwelcome in the capital by anti-Trump protesters
    Claimed millions of Brits backed his policies
    Told of his pride at taking wife Melania to meet the Queen
