Former MEP John Stevens argues that President Trump's low priority of a UK-US trade deal indicates the UK should refocus on aligning with European allies. Reports reveal US officials have relegated the UK to a secondary tier in trade negotiations while pushing for lower UK food standards for American imports, which the UK government opposes. Stevens asserts that the notion of a favorable deal with the US is misguided and highlights that the US cannot provide trade arrangements comparable to those the UK had with the EU.
Once again, Reform leader Nigel Farage's prediction that President Trump is a good friend to Britain who will give us a trade deal making up for the loss of trade we have suffered by leaving the EU has been proved false.
There is no way the US, even without Trump's aggressive tariffs doctrine, could grant us any plausible trading arrangement that would remotely match what we enjoyed with the EU.
