I like it that Trump went old school to apply the stick to the carrot of his asap post-Brexit free trade deal. Can't remember the last time I heard of an American ambassador saying anything about anything, now we have one 'urging' the UK to jump ship on the Iran nuclear deal:

As a means for further driving a wedge between the UK and the EU it makes obvious sense; but after Blair and Iraq, let alone Syria, it's hard to see our Theresa having the traction to push it through, despite what Trump and Netanyahu and the Saudi monarchy might wish.
