LONDON - British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Friday that her country wants "the broadest and deepest possible" trade agreement with the European Union (EU) in a long-awaited Brexit speech.

She told the audience at the City of London's Mansion House that Britain wants the deal to cover "more sectors and co-operating more fully than any Free Trade Agreement anywhere in the world today."

She also pledged to deliver the real change the country voted for in June 2016 while protecting jobs and security.
