Brexit WARNING: US threatens to scrap chances of UK trade deal in letter to Boris Johnson - Daily Express

The four politicians are Eliot Engel, Richard Neal, William Keating and Peter King, a lone Republican congressmen.

In their letter, they told the Prime Minister they are “disturbed” by the Internal Market Bill over fears it could have “disastrous consequences for the Good Friday Agreement”, and warned the bill could see a US/UK trade deal dropped.

Citing US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the congressmen said: “The United States will not support any free trade agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom if the United Kingdom fails to preserve the gains of the Good Friday Agreement and broader peace process.

“If these reported plans were to go forward, it would be difficult to see how these conditions could be met.”
