Good idea. Where else can we get our marmite, treacle and jelly babies?

J/K, glad to see DJT is willing to carry on our close relationship with Britain.

So Trump takes office, we open new trade agreements, we don’t quit any of the ones we’re in.

I like it.

It seemed fairly obvious that this was where things were headed. It’s a perfect situation, U.K. post Brexit, and U.S. under Trump, trading as more or less equals. Excellent.

One less reason to fear Brexit.

More panic in Brussels.

That will be a big hit to the EU, which wants to punish them for brexit

EU told them if you want open trade, you have to accept open movement. Nope, sorry

My Tory, royalist, conservative, America-loving, brainy British relatives in London are ecstatic over Mr. Trump's victory...and they wrote me especially to let me know he's extremely well-liked in their country.

Need to take the EU down one country at a time. Germany can trade with their migrants
