Wilbur Ross vsTheresa May calls for people to embrace Brexit and 'come together' in her first Christmas message

Donald Trump's new trade chief has urged Britain's rivals to take advantage
of the "God-given opportunity" of Brexit to take business away from the UK.
Wilbur Ross, the US commerce secretary designate, said Britain was facing a "period of confusion" following the vote to leave the EU and that it was "inevitable" there would be
"relocations".The billionaire businessman will be responsible
for negotiating a free trade deal with the UK and his reported comments will raise concerns the incoming US administration will seek to exploit Britain's isolation following Brexit .
Mr Ross was reported by The Times to have made his comments to an audience of Cypriot financiers in the days following last June's
referendum vote - before he had been
appointed to Mr Trump's cabinet.
"I recommend that Cyprus should adopt and immediately announce even more liberal financial service policies than it already has so that it can try to take advantage of the inevitable relocations that will occur during the period of confusion," he said.
