Well now I'm confused. This conversation started as Boris failing to get a deal and now he never went to get a deal.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not from me, we were told we were back of the queue.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, so what is the point of this discussion of Boris not getting a deal. He was never going to get one anyway. 😂
----------------------------------------------------------------------
His promise of getting one?

Should people not be held account for their lies?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They should.

A trade deal benefits all concerned, surely.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Says the brexiter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Am not wrong.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You just voted against the best one we could have had.

One that had put us amongst the richest countries in the world, and gave us financial services for the entirety of the EU.

Literally voted to kill the golden goose
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Like corbyn and many on the left, i am eurosceptic, yes.The left used to describe brussels as a capitalist entity, that would prevent the uk having a socialist govt, for example.

I voted leave and as you know over years since accept the remain argument too.

Do you want a deal with America?

We can and do still trade with Europe.

It was meant to be about trade, not a political union.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The Lexit argument was put to bed years ago, if you don't want to trade with a capitalist entity, I'd reconsider your stance towards trading with the biggest capitalist society in the world

2. You very clearly still don't understand your vote though

3. No, I've outlined briefly why above.

4. In a limited and very controlled capacity, a deal with the US would end the current scenario due to being in a different regulatory agreement.

5. Also a lie, The treaty of Romes first paragraph talks about an ever closer political union, an idea first laid down by Churchill following WW2. A few years ago a link was posted on the precursor to this thread that proved extensively using footage from the vote to join the EU that it was very clear it wasn't just a trade deal.

Turns out Obama wasn't lying about being back of the queue and Farage was lying when he said itbwould take 48 hours to do a deal with the US.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Biden can't even answer questions, how the feck can he make a deal? 😂😂
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Some seem to be confused so let me explain. About 30% of US trade is with Canada & Mexico. China accounts for another 13%. As for the UK, it is 2.5%, the same as Taiwan, Vietnam, & India. So when some are confused why a trade deal with the UK isn’t a high priority, now you know.

But but but Bwiden.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So Biden just thought he would waste his time meeting Boris?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Good question....why meet over a trade deal if not genuine about seeking a deal?

I thought business went beyond petty party politics?

However, we were also told an American trade deal was bad, as we would get crap chicken and lose the NHS??
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Whats your issue with reading posts?

They weren't there to make a trade deal, they were there for an international summit, covering things like climate change, Afghanistan etc.

Boris wants a trade deal, biden is not interested
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Biden is not America.

And a trade deal is part of the mix in discussion.

A trade deal between Uk and America benefits us all.

Biden is playing down a uk trade deal, so it is being discussed....might not be as high on the present talks agenda, but one million brits work in US firms and vice versa.

Both sides benefit from trade deals, just as we do in Europe and beyond.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fack me, why don't you read?

A trade deal is NOT part of the equation at these talks, categorically NOT.

And we do such little trade with them, that it's of no benefit to them.

Clearly you have absorbed no information regarding regulatory frameworks in the last 5 years from WWSPD

Joe Biden has played down the chances of brokering a post-Brexit free trade deal with the UK, as he held talks with Boris Johnson at the White House.

Downing Street said its priority was still getting a deal with the US alone.

But the BBC understands that UK ministers are now considering joining an existing North American trade pact instead of pursuing a separate deal.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It was always going to be difficult, given the huge regulatory differences.

One might expect a competent government to complete an impact assessment. How diverging from existing regulatory frameworks, might impact long established UK/EU supply chains.

FTA's mainly deal with goods, and agri-foods (removal of tariffs) but given tariffs have been steadily reducing, the benefits of any FTA the UK brokers with any regional trade bloc would be nominal. As the UK has been moving to a service based economy over the last number of decades. I recall David Davis mentioning that a FTA with the US would remove tariffs from the UK service sector

The argument of leaving the EU (internal market) and offsetting the loss of market access by brokering FTA's across the globe is for the birds.

My head spins with their logic.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Whether i voted leave or remain is small fry, and if i voted remain, i accept the majority voted leave.

I changed my mind on leave and remain too, and trade deals to benefit millions in Uk and USA are a good thing.

Not wanting a trafe deal and harking back to the brexit vote with salty tears daily, is not healthy or wise.

Why should America not do a trade deal with the Uk?

Compared with 2018, which the ONS describes as the most recent “stable” period in UK trade, the change in trading levels is stark.

In July, total exports of goods, excluding precious metals, fell by £300m because of a £900m (6.5%) fall in exports to the EU, the ONS said.

At the same time, exports to non-EU countries increased by £700m, not enough to compensate for the overall fall.

“We still trade with Europe”

Yes, people sought to leave the EU, rightly or wrongly, but it happened, so we move on and do deals.

We also still trade with the EU.

BECAUSE IT IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH OUR CURRENT TRADING AGREEMENTS WITH THE EU.

MEANING WE WILL LOSE FAR MORE THAN WE GAIN, MEANING A POTENTIAL BORDER ON IRELAND

LESSER FOOD AND AGRI REGULATIONS INCLUDING ANIMAL WELFARE

Maybe your brain will better absorb posts in capital letters.

There are now a series of barriers in place which makes it impossible for many businesses to sell in and out of the EU.

Unfortunately a lot of the fall out (which has and will be catastrophic for the UK economy) has been masked by Covid.

Morning mate.

You make too much sense, but one question.

Does it benefit the Uk and USA to do a trade deal?

Perhaps we could join a free trade area?

With our closest neighbours, which could even have frictionless borders
