Brexit bombshell: How US spies 'secretly financed EU and pushed Britain into EEC'

THE US intelligence worked behind closed doors to create a federal Europe in the Fifties and Sixties, funding and directing a campaign which ultimately saw Britain joining the EEC, newly-resurfaced declassified American government documents shockingly claim.

As soon as Britain formally leaves the EU at 11pm this evening, it can start negotiating trade deals with other countries. The European Union - which accounts for about half of the United Kingdom’s trade - along with the United States are the government’s top priority for securing new trade deals. Britons have long cherished the “special relationship” between London and Washington, and many pro-Brexit voices, including campaigner Nigel Farage and Prime Minister Boris Johnson, have suggested that leaving the UK EU help strengthen transatlantic ties with “Mr. Brexit” himself, President Donald Trump.
