Trump Congratulates Johnson on Election Win

US President Donald Trump congratulated British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on winning the election and said that the two countries will now be able to conclude a new "huge" trade deal after Britain leaves the European Union.

“Congratulations to Boris Johnson on his great WIN! Britain and the United States will now be free to strike a massive new Trade Deal after BREXIT. This deal has the potential to be far bigger and more lucrative than any deal that could be made with the E.U. Celebrate Boris!," Trump wrote in a Tweet on Twitter Friday morning.

After winning the election, Johnson considered that “this conservative government had apparently obtained a new and strong mandate to accomplish Brexit.”

"At this stage it does look as though this one-nation Conservative government has been given a powerful new mandate, to get Brexit done and not just to get Brexit done but to unite this country and to take it forward," Johnson said after winning his seat of Uxbridge.

He added: "I think that this will become a historic election that will give us now, in this new government, the opportunity to respect the democratic will of the British people .. to change this country for the better and unleash the potential of this people.”
