Out of curiosity, why not? It sounds like we are getting a really great deal compared to what the Brits are getting. We keep most of our tariffs against them, while they lower most of their tariffs against us and open their markets to more of our products and agriculture. It might seem a little unfair to the Brits but we do provide a lot of their defense and their government does make money from our goods through their VAT tax, so I don’t think we’re being too tough on them.
I’m a little surprised Trump actually got them to agree to all this, but I see Starmer also just made a deal with India where the UK likewise ended up with the short end of the stick, so maybe Starmer’s just not a tough negotiator.
I thought we were doing a more equitable deal.
Raising our tariff against them is not.
From what I see our old tariff with them was fine.
Full disclosure, I do buy UK parts for my cars as they are the only not-Chinese source.
