'Say g’day to the quiet Britons for us' World leaders react to Boris Johnson's British election victory
In his victory speech, Mr Johnson also singled out"an Australian-style points-based immigration system" as one of the key promises he would implement. "Record spending on schools, an Australian-style points-based immigration system, more police, colossal new investments in infrastructure, in science; using our incredible technological advantages to make this country, the cleanest, greenest on Earth with the most far-reaching environmental program," he told party supporters.
Boris Johnson's election victory puts Britain firmly on course to leave the EU in January, leaving the country open to negotiate free trade deals. Mr Trump says the agreement has the potential to be"far bigger and more lucrative" than any deal that could have been made with the European Union. "Congratulations to Boris Johnson on his great WIN! Britain and the United States will now be free to strike a massive new Trade Deal after BREXIT," Mr Trump wrote in a message posted on Twitter.
