German finance minister Schaeuble speaking after talks with US treasury sec Jack Lew 14 July 2016
And which part do you mostly want positive Mr Happy?
- must have quick Brexit procedure to limit fallout
Or the natives will get funny ideas of their own eh? Tell you what, just give us a decent deal and we can get this sorted and save you.
- limiting Brexit fallout has worked well so far
- Hammond has a good record
- his position on need for London's financial centre to have access to EU market is reasonable
Lew:
- highly integrated EU-UK relationship needed
- US remains committed to US-EU trade pact
- financial markets are orderly, functioning
- US wants to uphold strong relationship with UK
Awww so sweet Jack, thanks
- will meet with new UK fin min Hammond later today
- G20 must avoid competitive devaluation
- must use all tools to boost economy
