What's that got to do with it ?

Hedge funds and import tarrifs are two completely different things. Nobody speculates on tarrifs.

I agree, but that is only true for respectable "leaders" with honorable principals.

Luckily the UK does not depend on the trade deal with the USA because the future is so wide open and the UK is about to "unleash its potential". It will "prosper mightily" through its "unfettered access to the EUs SM". And so forth.

You know all those promises of UKs gov concerning the sunny uplands have to believed by the people. Imagine there was only the slightest chance of all that being a giant hoax...

Sorry jbr, but you are quite alone there, outside the EU in the cold.

We'll give them a cuddle to keep ourselves warm!!

When it comes to single markets, the EU is more dependant on ours than we are of its.

Many of which are in some kind of a customs union. The UK is going it alone, just like usa, russia, china.

Yes, you are holding all the cards. Hence the outcome of the trade deal negotiated by the boris frost tandem.

Perhaps that explains why boris insists brexit got done and is not to be spoken about anymore? Like some on this forum argue for ending the brexit forum?

My specific interest is *how* does the EU attempt to sabotage your success concerning trade agreements?

By the way, I did not know that the French were my friends, but okay. How does begging the UK for financial support of the tunnel (if that should be true) stop the UK in succeeding? I fail to see that.
From #257:
"We continue to be taken advantage of by the EU in their forlorn attempts to hold us back from the success we are presently beginning to demonstrate in, for example, rapid successes in foreign trade agreements and the efficient application of Covid vaccinations."

I didn't say that they were trying to hold us back specifically from making foreign trade agreements. How could they?

I said the successes we are beginning to demonstrate. I was speaking generally. They are doing that is any way they can, including going back on the agreements we have with them.

I cited the foreign trade agreements, for example, to show that we are more efficient than them, bearing in mind the length of time it takes them to achieve such agreements, presumably because they are mired in paperwork and the necessity of trying to get 27 different countries to agree anything.

Yep, as members of the EU. The UK as a individual country cannot have a customs union of its own. However, it is possible when scotland, wales and england are sovereign countruies once more.
