Washington [US], Apr 11 (ANI): US President Donald Trump on Wednesday accused the European Union (EU) of being too "tough" while dealing with the United Kingdom on Brexit issue.
He also said that the EU is a "brutal" trading partner with the US.
"Too bad that the European Union is being so tough on the United Kingdom and Brexit. The E.U. is likewise a brutal trading partner with the United States, which will change. Sometimes in life, you have to let people breathe before it all comes back to bite you!," Trump tweeted.

Trump's remark came hours after European leaders agreed to delay the deadline for the UK's exit from the European bloc until October 31, with a review in June.
The delay makes it all but certain that the UK will have to hold European Parliament elections next month unless May makes a renewed push to pass her beleaguered Brexit deal again in the British Parliament. (ANI)
