US President Donald Trump 's outgoing administration congratulated Britain and the EU on their post- Brexit trade deal, saying Washington was ready to build "stronger transatlantic ties." "Congrats to the UK and the EU for concluding a historic Brexit deal," read a message from the national security officials at White House posted on Twitter. "The US stands ready to work with all to build even stronger transatlantic relations in the years ahead." British Brexit supporters have long promised a new and favorable trade deal with the United States to compensate their exit from the EU. And Trump, who supported Brexit and has good ties with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, seemed like their natural ally.
