Mail On Sunday Spins Trump Trade Deal

This is the most interesting Brexit story so far this year. The Mail on Sunday has reported an interview with Michael Wolff, author of a Trump book, in which he reportedly claims that Trump will only agree to a UK/USA trade deal if he is invited to the Royal Wedding. Whether or not this is true it is interesting the Mail on Sunday has reported it. They usually make a case against Brexit, in balance for the views the rest of the week. This story raises a doubt about how easy a USA trade deal would be.

The speculation that an invitation is unlikely seems reasonable. Also there is still confusion as to whether Trump plans to come to UK just to open the new embassy. Maybe he changes his mind often, as suggested by the claims in the book.

People reading this outside the UK should check the print source of some of the stories on the website. My guess is that the pro Brexit approach is also kinder to Trump but not sure.
