UK foreign minister speaking in parliament 10 Jan
- there is a huge fund of goodwill for the UK on Capitol Hill
- very large measure of understanding that now is time for a free trade deal and urgently
Boris Johnson with further comments after his US trade trip where he had already learnt from Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Bob Corker hat the UK was in the "front seat" for a trade deal.
He added:
"We hear we are first in line to do a great free trade deal with the United States. So, it"s going to be a very exciting year for both our countries,"
Those meeting with the foreign secretary included House speaker Paul Ryan and Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell. He travelled to Washington after meeting with Mr Trump"s senior advisers in New York.
A Foreign Office source told the BBC the talks in Washington saw "seriously positive" discussions on the prospects for a future US-UK trade deal.
Mr Corker said Mr Johnson knows "full well" that "there is no way the United Kingdom is going to take a back seat".
"They will take a front seat and I think it will be our priority to make sure that we deal with them on a trade agreement initially but in all respects in a way that demonstrates the long-term friendship that we"ve had for so long,"
The senator, who had been a leading candidate for secretary of state, said he was sure Mr Trump would agree with him.
