Donald Trump will put the interests of corporate America first and demand that the NHS pays higher prices for US drugs in a free-trade deal with the UK, the outgoing British ambassador to Washington has told the Guardian. He said: “I know what the US will be pitching for when they negotiate a free-trade deal with us. I just wonder where these huge advances are going to be on a US trade deal. “Maybe Boris’s relationship with Donald Trump is so fantastic that Trump will give him all this as a gift,” Darroch said. Trump tweeted in response that he would not work with the British ambassador.
