Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservative Party decisively won in Britain’s general election on Thursday, a victory that clears the path for Johnson to deliver his promise on Brexit and take the U.K. out of the European Union next month.
As the results came in, Johnson declared that his party had been given "a powerful new mandate." President Trump took to Twitter to congratulate Johnson. "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," Trump said. "This deal has the potential to be far bigger and more lucrative than any deal that could be made with the E.U. Celebrate Boris!"

Thursday's election marked a significant victory for the Tories, and a historic drubbing for the Labour Party of a kind it hasn’t seen since the 1930s. Click here for more.
