Mr trump is in the uk now to turn that surplus around. He wants you to buy some of the produce if the usa.

Overall the uk trade deficit is, since 2016, 9,4 bn each year. So if you leave the EU and don't have to pay the 9 bn membership, your trade is in balance. 🤐
In other words uk uses the surplus it generates with non eu
countries to subsidise iits deficit with the eul
No wonder we are in the shyte?

It exemplifies the thinking of those who don't feel part of the EU. It's the UK vs EU27.
That deficit will change even if trade continues. With tarifs.

We're talking wto tarifs. Take for instance, flowers and plants, an important export product from the netherlands to the UK. In 2018 the wto tarifs were:

WTO-tarieven snijbloemen
De gemiddelde WTO EU MFN-tarieven (geldend in 2018) voor afgesneden planten en bloemen met tussen haakjes de maximale tarieven:
• rozen: 8,5% (max. 8,5%)
• anjers: 8,5% (max. 8,5%)
• orchideeën: 8,5% (max. 8,5%)
• chrysanten: 8,5% (max. 8,5%)
• lelies (Lilium spp.): 8,5% (max. 8,5%)
• overige snijbloemen: 8,5% (max. 8,5%)
• gedroogde, gekleurde, geďmpregneerde of anderzijds geprepareerde snijbloemen: 10% (max. 10%)
Bron: WTO

This means that after brexit a bouquet of flowers is 10% more expensive. I am certain that is no problem for you when you buy flowers for your loved one. But if it means that all products imported become more expensive? It is what farage is promising he will achieve for the british people.
