Donald Trump said the US “can't make a trade deal with the UK” under UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's EU withdrawal agreement.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Other comments made by Mr Trump led Labour to accuse him of trying to “interfere” in the election.<\/p>\n
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”.<\/p>\n
Mr Corbyn accused him of “trying to interfere” in the UK general election to boost “his friend Boris Johnson”.<\/p>\n
