Donald Trump’s top trade official says the UK is not “capitalising on Brexit” and is instead aligning more with Brussels than with the United States. The official frames the concern as a missed opportunity for deeper trade cooperation between the UK and the US following the UK’s exit from the EU.
The outlets referencing the remarks present them as a warning to the UK’s approach to trade and policy. While the core message is that the UK should pursue closer US ties, the reporting does not provide additional detail such as specific negotiations, offers, or timelines. The emphasis is on the contrast between pursuing options related to the EU framework (“Brussels”) versus engaging more directly with Washington (“America”).
