That's regarding new navy vessels; widely reported.

My money's on seeing a new POTUS first.

Boris may well leave his decision until he knows who has won in the USA.
Trump wants a deal, Biden not fussed.

Nothing confirmed, but the rumours have been circulating.

But its got me thinking ?
What will actually happen if Boris reneges on his brexit pledge??
What will WE do about it?
Its another three years before a new election?
The "deal" will have been signed ?
Status quo will be re-imposed by the eu !
What will we do??
Donkeyman! 🤔🤔🤔

Any trade deal is reliant upon who needs what on both sides.
Trump is no more pro-UK than Biden is anti-.
That's ignoring Liz Truss who has also assured us that it makes no difference:
"We're working with both parties in the United States, both the Democrats and the Republicans. There is strong support for a trade deal with the UK,"
https://www.usnews.com/news/world/ar...ction-minister
Widely covered in other media too.
FYI we already trade more with the USA than with any other single country.
The talks re a TTP deal - much-advanced and more likely too following our Japan trade deal - would I'm sure provide much more scope for new business than a USA deal anyway.
