«Breaking News» Trump taunts Theresa May over Brexit just hours before crucial Commons vote

Donald Trump has torn into Theresa May over her handling of Brexit, saying she could have made a success of it if she had listened to his advice.

The US president said he was 'surprised how badly it has gone' as he spoke to reporters at the White House alongside Irish premier Leo Varadkar.

In a meeting which came as Westminster was gripped by infighting over a possible delay to Brexit, he said that it was a 'shame' that Brexit was 'tearing a country apart, it's actually tearing a lot of countries apart'.

In his latest intervention on Brexit Mr Trump said: 'I'm surprised how badly it has gone from the standpoint of a negotiation.

'I gave the Prime Minister my ideas on how to negotiate it and 'think you would have been successful - she didn't listen to that and it's fine.'

He added: 'It's sad to see what is happening there.'

It came after the US president had earlier said he was looking forward to talks on a 'large scale trade deal' with the UK, adding 'the potential is unlimited!'

The terms of a deal between the two nations after Brexit has sparked a furious row in recent weeks, with fears that we would be forced to accept goods produced under  the US's lower food safety and welfare standards.

Mr Trump tweeted this morning as  Westminster was engulfed by ongoing chaos about when and if the UK will leave the EU. The leave date is key to deciding when official talks on a deal would even begin.

Mr Trump took to Twitter in the early morning, Washington time. He is a frequent early morning tweeter on a wide range of issues

He enthusiastically voiced his backing for a UK-US trade deal once Brexit is finalised. It has been the subject of a lot of debate in recent weeks

Labour MP and Best for Britain supporter Virendra Sharma said: 'Trump has fired the starting gun on a UK-US chlorinated chicken trade deal.

'UK supermarkets would be flooded with chlorine-washed chicken, hormone-treated beef and pork laced with drugs. 

'But British consumers deserve better.

'This trade deal would be a disaster for Britain and shred our animal welfare and consumer protections.

'The only way to protect UK consumers is to retain our current deal with the EU.' 

Mr Trump sent the tweet at 7.22am in Washington DC, 11.22am in the UK, a morning time that often sees Mr Trump uses Twitter to comment on news he has seen on television.

He wrote: My Administration looks forward to negotiating a large scale Trade Deal with the United Kingdom.

'The potential is unlimited!'

His intervention reignited the row over the UK's post-Brexit trade with the United States.

Earlier this month his ambassador in the UK, Woody Johnson, accused the European Union of planting false concerns over US farming practices, including chlorinated chicken.

The Trump administration's post-Brexit trade deal demands sparked fears that the UK could be flooded with low-quality food imports. 

Earlier this month Woody Johnson said: 'In any situation I know that our two countries have to be together in this free world' The New York Jets owner and billionaire businessman has been ambassador to the UK since 2017 when he was appointed by Donald Trump

The US wants 'comprehensive market access' for US agricultural products through the reduction or removal of tariffs and the elimination of 'unwarranted barriers' to food and drink imports according to a document released today.

The publication of negotiating objectives for a deal by the office of US trade representative Robert Lighthizer was welcomed by the Department for International Trade as a sign that Washington is keen to start talks soon after Brexit.

Liam Fox's department said the UK would insist on maintaining 'high standards for businesses, workers and consumers' in any deal.

But the National Farmers' Union raised concerns over food safety and animal welfare standards.

Nigel Farage reportedly urged U.S. President Donald Trump to support a no-deal Brexit when they met face-to-face in Washington earlier this month. 

The former UKIP leader, who campaigned for then-candidate Trump in 2016, met the Republican President at the Conservative Political Action Conference on March 2. 

A photograph of the meeting shows both men smiling to the camera with their thumbs raised. 

Mr Farage likened Brexit to Mr Trump's negotiations with North Korea and said it was better to walk away with no deal, the Daily Telegraph reported.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
