Donald Trump and Boris Johnson met this Sunday morning August 25, 2019 on the sidelines of the G7 Biarritz. And this, for the first time since the arrival of the British Prime Minister.
With our correspondent in London, Sophie Miller
A face-to-face meeting between Boris Johnson and Donald Trump all smiles, thumbs up is the new image of the special relationship between Britain and the United States. The British press notes the dithyrambic tone of the American president with regard to the new Prime Minister. Boris Johnson is " the right man for the job " on the Brexit, says Donald Trump before promising a bright future commercial between the two countries.
A " fantastic trade agreement "
Donald Trump: " We are going to have a fantastic trade deal, the best we have ever had with the UK. For now they will have no more obstacles, no more balls around the foot, as before . " If the prospect of this trade agreement pleases the brexiters, another part of the British, they are worried.
One of the major concerns is the NHS, the public health system that could be part of these trade negotiations, as one Labor MP pointed out. For Barry Gardiner, " because of the reform of conservative security, any service in our public health system is now open to competition and therefore potentially threatened by a trade agreement. "
