Outstanding...except for one potential fly in the ointment. Starmer is trying to get the UK back in the EU, if not openly, then through whatever back door they can create. I would not want the EU to either take advantage of this deal or control it in any way.
I do not understand:
1. UK Tariffs were 5.1 percent, now 1.8 percent
2. US Tariffs were 3.4 percent, now 10 percent
Are those UK tariffs on US goods and US Tariffs on UK goods?
And if fair trade with reciprocal tariffs is the goal, why is there any differential at all?
Wouldn’t it be funny if the upshot of the Trump tariffs was free trade!
WTF?
No, I do not like this.
Now if only we could sell them eggs, and they could export Heinz beans...
“The deal includes a plan that will bring the United Kingdom into the economic security alignment with the United States. That’s the first of its kind.”
What does that mean?
Oh thank goodness for this! I was afraid that if we had high tariffs with the UK, my beloved Stilton Cheeses and Lucas Automotive Electrical parts would become unaffordable!
