Donald Trump says he'll work well with whoever wins U.K. election because 'I'm a very easy person to work with'
President Donald Trump has claimed he"can work with anybody" and will be staying out of the upcoming U.K. election, which is scheduled for December 12.
Speaking from London, at a press conference with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Trump suggested that he did not want to comment on the British general election in order to avoid complicating the issue."It's going to be a very important election for this great country. But I have no thoughts on it," the president, who is in the U.K. for the NATO summit in London from December 3-4, said.
However, Trump went on to praise incumbent British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, with whom the president confirmed he is due to meet during his time in London. "I think Boris [Johnson] is very capable and I think he'll do a good job," the president said, before adding that he would also work well with opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, of the Labour Party."I can work with anyone. I'm a very easy person to work with," he added, according to Pool reports.during an interview on British radio station LBC in October.
And in recent days, Corbyn has suggested that the UK's National Health Service is being put"up for sale" as part of secret trade talks between the US and UK—stoking fears that a post-Brexit trade deal between the US and UK would provide full market access for American pharmaceutical companies.
