Speaking in the Oval Office after meeting with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, US President Donald Trump has said Brexit is "tearing countries apart."
"It’s a very complex thing, it’s tearing a country apart. It’s actually tearing a lot of countries apart. And it’s a shame that it has to be that way, but I think we will stay right in our lane, we’re doing fantastically as a country," Trump said.
The President added that he was surprised "how badly" negotiations have gone.
"I gave the Prime Minister my ideas of how to negotiate it, she didn't listen to that and that's fine but it could have been negotiated in a different manner," he said.
Trump also added that the EU "has been very tough to deal with."
"Franky it's been very one-sided for many, many years."
