New photo US casts doubt on whether a Brexit trade deal with Britain is possible

Donald Trump's UK ambassador Woody Johnson has admitted a trade deal with the US is still up in the air

Donald Trump's UK ambassador has today admitted Britain could struggle to get a good trade deal with the US if Theresa May's Brexit plan goes through.  

Woody Johnson has said America is waiting to make a decision until the withdrawal agreement is finalised.

Donald Trump has repeatedly warned the Prime Minister that her Brexit plan could 'kill' any UK-US trade deal because Britain would remain so closely aligned to the European Union.

The US president also said he would have done the Brexit negotiations 'much differently' and claimed the Prime Minister did not listen to his advice, including to consider suing the EU.

His first highly-controversial remarks came while Mr Trump and First Lady Melania were being entertained by the Prime Minister at Blenheim Palace in July.

The US president said: 'If they do a deal like that, we would be dealing with the European Union instead of dealing with the UK, so it will probably kill the deal.

'If they do that, then their trade deal with the US will probably not be made.'

And Mr Trump said last month that he wanted the Prime Minister to 'do something' about her agreement to ensure the UK can trade with the US more freely.

He told reporters: 'Sounds like a great deal for the EU. I think we have to take a look at, seriously, whether or not the UK is allowed to trade.

'Because, you know, right now, if you look at the deal, they may not be able to trade with us. And that wouldn't be a good thing. I don't think they want that at all.

'That would be a very big negative for the deal.'

Jean-Claude Juncker was hit by a furious backlash yesterday after he claimed most MPs 'deeply distrust' Theresa May over Brexit as talks appeared to stall again.

The EU Commission chief told the UK to 'get your act together', and insisted it is not for Brussels to find a way through the impasse over the Irish 'backstop'.

Asked yesterday what the EU's future relationship with Britain should be, he said: 'It is not us who are leaving the UK – it is the UK that is leaving the EU. I find it entirely unreasonable for parts of the British public to believe that it is for the EU alone to propose a solution for all future British problems.

'My appeal is this: get your act together and then tell us what it is you want. Our proposed solutions have been on the table for months.'

He said if MPs ratified the deal next month, talks on the future relationship could begin immediately and would not have to wait until after March 29, when the UK leaves the EU.

Taking aim at MPs who claim Brussels is trying to keep Britain in the bloc, he said: 'I have the impression that the majority of British MPs deeply distrust both the EU and Mrs May. It is being insinuated that our aim is to keep the United Kingdom in the EU by all possible means. That is not our intention. All we want is clarity about our future relations. And we respect the result of the referendum.'

The intervention enraged MPs, with former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith warning that Mr Juncker had 'picked on the wrong nation'. He added: 'Juncker has descended yet again into shallow arrogance in lecturing the UK. They're trying to say it's the UK's fault, that they don't know what we want, but of course they know – this is just a stupid game.'

Fellow Tory MP Andrew Rosindell said: 'Mr Juncker has severely underestimated the British spirit if he thinks the people of this nation will capitulate to his threats.'

Mr Juncker's intervention follows a heated summit earlier this month, which saw the Prime Minister confront him and angrily accuse him of calling her 'nebulous'. Mrs May is still hoping Brussels will offer concessions on the Irish backstop to help it pass a Commons vote. MPs want 'legally binding' reassurances that the backstop – designed to prevent a hard border emerging in Ireland – will be time limited.

Cabinet minister Liam Fox threw his weight behind Mrs May's deal, telling The Sunday Times that if MPs failed to back it in next month's vote 'I'm not sure I would give it much more than 50-50' for Britain to leave the EU.

A No 10 spokesman said: 'Discussions with EU partners have shown that further clarification on the backstop is possible and these discussions are continuing to secure the legal and political assurances Parliament need.'

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
