"People who worry about the UK ’crashing out’ of the European Union ‐ that’s the phrase they use ‐ they’re going to ’crash’ right into the United States," Mr Bolton told Sky News’s Cordelia Lynch from the White House on Friday.
"We’re standing here waiting to make a trade deal with a United Kingdom independent of the European Union," Mr Bolton continued, in an optimistic note.
"I don’t want to get into the specifics of what’s been going on in the House of Commons, but I can say unequivocally President Trump is eager for the will of the British people to be carried out and he is even more eager to do a trade deal," he said.
