Boris Johnson says UK 'first in line' for US trade deal post-Brexit

Boris Johnson has declared Britain is "first in line" for a trade deal with the US, after meeting Donald Trump's senior advisers for talks in Washington.


Barack Obama, who leaves office on 20 January, warned during the EU referendum campaign that Britain would be at the "back of the queue" for a trading agreement if it opted to leave the EU.

But the Foreign Secretary, who once quipped he would not visit parts of New York because of the "real risk of meeting Donald Trump", praised the President-elect's "very exciting agenda of change".
