The arbitrage opportunities for Northern Ireland will be mind-boggling.

US impose 10% tariff on the UK, 20% on EU. Nothing to do with deals, but probably at the lower end of what either were expecting. Add in auto tariffs 25% on top presumably though.

Sigh. You can never get Nordies to look on the bright side. https://bsky.app/profile/euwatch.live/post/3llviyuubzo2m

Make Northern Ireland UK again?

Make Northern Ireland part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland again! Best of all worlds for NI: can trade with the EU, rest of the UK, and now the USA, on terms of trade far more favourable than GB or IE.

Plus they get to have some of their key infrastructure and higher education funded by two countries.

A similar thing happened with Bailey's Irish Cream a few years ago -- once #brexit happened, they started shipping from NI, and the price in the US dropped significantly.

Absolutely. Great point.

Nevertheless, the DUP will never admit the Protocol/Windsor Framework is the reason for this.
