The European Union's decision to accept "Brexit," the United Kingdom's exit from the EU, has not left House Speaker ready to support a potential trade deal between the United States and U.K."I don't think we'll know for a while," she said in response to a question from The Hill about a potential deal.
Pelosi said last year that she would oppose a U.K. trade deal if Brexit harmed the Good Friday Accords, an agreement that led to power-sharing in Northern Ireland, and which was ratified in elections in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Brexit has been seen as a potential threat to Irish peace because of its potential to install a hard barrier between Northern Ireland, which is part of the U.K., and the Republic of Ireland, which remains part of the EU. ADVERTISEMENT.The European Parliament in Brussels on Wednesday ratified the Brexit agreement, which will go into effect Friday at midnight.
The U.K. has 11 months to work out final details of a new trade regime with the EU, which Pelosi said would be key to determining her support.
Who vocally supported Brexit, has promised to work out a new trade deal with the U.K. following its exit from the EU.Pelosi's comments came as Secretary of State was visiting the U.K. on official business.
Speaking in London Thursday, Pompeo said it was "Fantastic" that Brexit would give the U.K. newfound flexibility.
"We have a policy of putting the U.K. at the front of the line."
