Top Trump Adviser Says U.K. Slips Behind EU in Trade Priorities
Source: Bloomberg
After months of promises that the U.K. would be next in line for trade negotiations with the Trump administration, U.S. officials are signaling the European Union might still be the easier target for a quick outcome aimed at avoiding a transatlantic tariff battle.
Trade talks with the EU and U.K. are on separate tracks but because of some structure on the EU side, reigniting that will be easier than starting from scratch with the U.K., White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said in an interview.
Since a new European Commission took office late last year, officials on both sides have pointed to a reset in the U.S.-EU relationship and agree theres a sense of urgency for a truce.
No one around here is salivating for a trade war, Kudlow said Feb. 6. Believe me, no one.

you should not be surprised -- he screws everyone depending on promises. He played to split UK off EU to give him increased leveraged in getting a US-EU trade deal.
