Brexit battle lines emerging on Capitol Hill

Fr. Sean McManus has condemned what he describes as an “appalling and irresponsible letter”

The battle over Brexit and the hoped for post-Brexit U.S./UK trade deal was taking clearer shape this week with a group of U.S. senators, led by Tom Cotton of Arkansas, pledging “unwavering support for the United Kingdom as it exits the European Union in the coming months.”

The pledge was contained in a letter to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson signed by Cotton and 44 other senators, all of them Republican.
