Trump: Brexit will benefit the UK

"Brexit should take place, it will benefit the UK," US President Donald Trump said at a press conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May.

"I think that it will take place, and it should take place... To my mind, that it will benefit the country," Trump said.

Earlier, the US President urged London not to pay compensation to Brussels in the amount of 39 billion pounds (about $50 billion) for failure to fulfill obligations to the EU in connection with the exit from the community.
