If I am wrong I have no problems with apologising to you.
Its simply absurd to think the 2nd biggest trading partner for the EU will allow itself to have tarrifs put on all goods entering it. Why would they do this ? It would build a stronger case for the member states to leave.
The USA trade discussions are still ongoing. If anything a USA UK trade deal would benefit Trump enormously for his election because it would increase agriculture exports, increasing profits and jobs. There is no way Trump would miss an opportunity like that. Likewise the UK can benefit from it by selling the USA whiskey, salmon, cheese and other manufactured products here such as high tec and scientific goods
Australia has super high quality meat products that can be imported into the UK with lower tarrifs and higher quotas. Cattle in Australia graze outdoors all year round and do not need to he kept in barns over the winter with anti bionics and food supplements like in Europe.
New zealand ... see above but for lamb products.

It has to be approved by Congress.
Australia and New Zealand are of very limited value, cheaper beef and lamb, which will affect the very powerful farming lobby.
As I say, wait and see.
If the dems reject a uk usa trade deal nobody will vote for the dems in the election.
Australia and New Zealand are not of limited value on their own they are a multi billion trade deal and they also form a huge chunk of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans Pacific Partnership.

Some of the things we are asking for are stupid.
We want access for all our HGVs to Europe, but refuse to accept their Driving Hours, we want to set our own.
That is just not going to happen.
Same with EU demands for access to our Fisheries.
It is the end game, who blinks first.
We should have access to their roads for our HGVs, but should accept their rules in their countries.
The EU HGVs should have access to our roads, but should accept our rules here.
As for fishing areas, ours are ours and those belonging to the EU countries are theirs. Something about international laws.
