U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday urged British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage to come together to safeguard prospects for expanded U.S.-U.K. trade after Britain leaves the European Union.
Trump told reporters at the White House that both men were friends of his, but Johnson was "the right man for the time."
Farage on Sunday said he would not run for a seat in Parliament in Britain's snap Dec. 12 election, focusing instead on campaigning against Johnson's EU divorce deal. The election was called because of an impasse in Parliament over Brexit, more than three years after voters decided to leave the bloc.
