General election 2019: No 10 defends Brexit deal after Trump criticism

Donald Trump said the US “can’t make a trade deal with the UK” under UK Prime Minister 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”, reports BBC.

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

Speaking to LBC, the president said Mr Corbyn would be “so bad” as prime minister and that Mr Johnson was “the exact right guy for the times”.

Mr Corbyn accused him of “trying to interfere” in the UK general election to boost “his friend Boris Johnson”.

The UK is going to the polls on 12 December following a further delay to the UK’s departure from the EU, to 31 January 2020.

Mr Johnson hopes to win a majority of seats so that he can get his deal through Parliament – while Mr Corbyn promises another referendum if he wins the keys to 10 Downing Street.
