The US president said on Friday at a joint press conference that he had given her a suggestion but she had found it too “brutal”.<\/p>\n
Asked by the BBC's Andrew Marr what it was he had said, she replied: “He told me I should sue the EU – not go into negotiations.”<\/p>\n
She defended her blueprint for Brexit and urged her critics to back it, reports BBC.<\/p>\n
She said it would allow the UK to strike trade deals with other nations, end free movement of people and the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.<\/p>\n
A White Paper published on Thursday fleshed out details of her plan, which advocates close links with the EU on trade in goods, but not services.<\/p>\n
Before the paper was published, Brexit Secretary David Davis and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson resigned, saying it would not deliver the Brexit people voted for in the 2016 EU referendum.<\/p>\n
Talking about the president's advice on how to handle the EU, Mrs May said: “Interestingly, what the president also said at that press conference was ‘don't walk away'.<\/p>\n
“Don't walk away from those negotiations because then you'll be stuck. So I want us to be able to sit down to negotiate the best deal for Britain.<\/p>\n
Leading Tory Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg has called the White Paper a “bad deal for Britain”. He says it would lead to the UK having to follow EU rules with no say in how they are made.<\/p>\n
Donald Trump told the Sun newspaper Mrs May's proposals would “probably kill” a trade deal with his country.<\/p>\n
Hours later, however, he said a US-UK trade deal would “absolutely be possible”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
