Yup. It feels cruel to deny deluded Brexiters their tiny sliver of a ‘win’ but, on the other hand, fuck ‘em. Weakening a country *before* an attack like this is an act of obvious treachery. We would, by any measure, be better off *in* the the EU *with* the 20% basic tariff rate.

And the 25% on car parts from, inter alia, the UK is still in place, right? Or not?

Massive win...🫣🤔

We should be standing with them.
A permanent & degrading dependence on Trump's US beckons
I get the strategy: flattery does work with the orange monster. But it's grim af to watch
It shows how weak we are as a trading nation since Brexit.
We have lost billions, weak trade deals.
We have a trading bloc on our doorstep.
All calculated by trade deficit and exports.
Commercially, we need to strengthen and grow our trading relations with our allies. We need to replace the lost trade with the states
Morally, time to ditch the USA
You are kidding Mr. Trumper?
If you think you've won the war ..."
Clearly he values the future visit worth 10% of trade tariffs! So feed him more ribbons and bobbles!

Oh what a special relationship it is…
Trump wants to lift sanctions.

It’s not hard to work out we need to keep stronger trading relationships with the EU!
I can't believe I have to share a country with these ghastly twunts.
"Trump just proved Brexit is no longer the worst decision ever made"
A 10% tariff with 25% on cars and the only possible escape - doing a deal with the orange loon - what an epic lose-lose.
This is a global (apart from Russia) shakedown.

4% from Brexit.
For the Brexiters reading this, that's 10x more damage from your self inflicted gunshot wound.
On another note why isn’t uncle Nigel explaining it all to us We need his unbiased economic and social skills now
I suppose we should be grateful it’s not personal. But it also means that all that trade deal we-won’t-tax-google stuff and the “special relationship” had zero impact.
