Brexit: US ambassador to UK Johnson warns on trade deal
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-46720323Donald Trump's offer of a "quick, massive, bilateral trade deal" will not be possible if Theresa May's EU withdrawal agreement is approved, the US ambassador to the UK has warned.
President Trump had previously said her Brexit proposal sounded like a "great deal for the EU".
Woody Johnson told the BBC the UK was "in need of leadership" over Brexit.
A Downing Street spokeswoman said Mr Johnson recently said the UK was "the perfect trading partner for the US".

I sure wish the Beebs had mentioned something along the lines of "Mr. Johnson, who owns the New York Jets NFL franchise, is currently in negotiations to expand the NFL to the UK, and the UK's trading status would have significant impacts on that deal."
