Three weeks after the referendum, May’s new government faces the formidably complex task of extricating Britain from the European Union – itself reeling from the shock of Brexit – while trying to protect the economy from feared disruption to confidence, trade and investment.

Mark Toner told reporters in Washington Wednesday that the bond between Britain and the U.S.

Johnson was a key proponent in the Vote Leave campaign.
