Having one way tarrifs, the sell out of our fisheries and detachment of Northen Ireland, breaking the GFA and UK law is not a good starting point.
Financially, currency fluctuations have much bigger influence on import costs than tarrifs ever have.

We didn't have any trade deal with the USA as an EU member but it was a bigger market for us.

Trump was more pro-British than Biden, who seems to have a hatred of the UK. Something to do with Ireland, I think.
I think when the Americans realise their mistake, changes will be made.

I could go on about fisheries, etc., though of course much of our problems are at least partly due to Boris apparently working WITH the EU.
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.
