The Trump administration supports a no-deal Brexit and Britain is “first in line” for a trade deal with the U.S., National Security Adviser John Bolton told reporters after meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the BBC reports.

“To be clear, in the Trump administration, Britain’s constantly at the front of the trade queue, or line as we say. We want to move very quickly. We wish we could have moved further along in this with the prior government,” he said.

Brexit talks with the European Union have reached an impasse. Johnson wants to renegotiate the terms ahead of Britain’s scheduled exit from the EU on Oct. 31. The EU refuses to meet Johnson’s demands.
