Threats
Somewhat more to that than meets the eye. His use of ‘back of the queue’ gives the game away. The Americans invariably use ‘line’. Downing Street involvement?
Hardly diplomatic or tactful, to issue a threat to a ‘friend’ under such auspicious circumstances. He’s just given the Brexit camp a boost from the millions of elderly voters already in the Out camp, and the Undecideds. Shot.in.foot. by a yesterday man.
Nutshell: as for trade deals, the USA TTiP negotiations aren’t going too well, unsurprisingly. With UK ex EU, USA loses a valuable submissive partner to help with lobbying.
