Johnson: Some think Britain’s best days are behind us

Dubai – Masaader News

Mr Johnson, UK Prime Minister, said in G7 meeting: “Some people question the democratic decision this country has made, fearing that we will retreat from the world. Some think Britain’s best days are behind us.

“To those people I say: you are gravely mistaken.”

His comments come after French President Emmanuel Macron suggested a post-Brexit trade deal with the US could see Britain as a “junior partner” in a position of “historic vassalisation”.

On Friday, Johnson and Mr Trump spoke by phone and discussed “foreign policy issues and global trade”.

The G7 meeting in Biarritz – a get together of most of the leaders of the world’s largest economies – comes with just over two months until the UK is scheduled to leave the EU on 31 October.
