U.S. House Speaker warns Britain that breaking Brexit treaty could imperil trade pact

U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned Britain on Wednesday that ignoring some parts of its European Union divorce treaty could imperil any new trade agreement with the United States. "If the U.K. violates that international treaty and Brexit undermines the Good Friday accord, there will be absolutely no chance of a U.S.-U.K. trade agreement passing the Congress," the Democratic lawmaker said in a statement. "The Good Friday Agreement is treasured by the American people and will be proudly defended in the United States Congress," Pelosi said.
