Trump might like Brexit less when he sees what it does to the economy
By David J. LynchSeptember 5 at 5:00 AM
President Trumps support for Britains exit from the European Union may be about to collide with his election-year hopes of presiding over a strong economy.
The president has long seen Brexit as reflecting the same sort of nationalist impulse that drove his White House upset in 2016. He has hailed British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who vows to sever ties with Europe on Oct. 31 no matter what, as a kindred populist spirit.
But as British Parliament this week dealt Johnson a stunning four consecutive defeats, the prospect of further delay in leaving the E.U. or a chaotic no-deal divorce spiked.
Continuing instability in the worlds fifth-largest economy coupled with anti-government protests in Hong Kong, a U.S.-China trade war, and financial problems in major developing countries such as Argentina and Turkey threatens to become a drag on an already troubled global economy.
