UK defends Brexit deal following criticism



LONDON: Downing Street has defended the UK’s Brexit deal with the EU, following criticism from the US president.

Donald Trump said the US “can’t make a trade deal with the UK” under Boris Johnson’s EU withdrawal agreement.

But a No 10 spokesperson said the deal meant “we can strike our own free trade deals around the world, from which every part of the UK will benefit”.

Other comments made by Trump led Labour to accuse him of trying to “interfere” in the election.
