AN interesting opinion piece about trade here. It is one of the main reasons I was pro-Remain, and why I think a hard Brexit is likely to be disastrous. Freedom to negotiate your own dal is of no economic value whatsoever unless those are better than the alternative. In the case of the US, it was obvious from the start how weak our position would be, and this tariff move from Trump makes it even more obvious. I assume any response from Brexit supporters will offer nothing more than hope that all our deals will be great ones.
