"America First" and "Hire American, Buy American" tells you pretty much what you need to know about him.
I reckon he see's a great opportunity with BREXIT. Basically get the UK into a FTA with the US to replace the current arrangement with the EU ( which the EU don't want us to maintain ). So UK consumers can Buy American, American firms will be bullied and bribed into Hiring American, and Trump can claim the credit for a US manufacturing renaissance.
Of course the EU can easily head this threat off by continuing free trade with the UK but they won't because their principals will get in the way.
The principled go head-to-head with the unprincipled. My money is on the Americans.
