The problem is the British producers don't produce a lot of the stuff we need and want. We rely on imports, as does every country in the world, which is why all this nonsense about a trade deficit with a particular part of the world is just that, nonsense. Trump spouts this, so do some on here. Trade tariffs are a direct tax on your own consumers. The point of trade is to enable you to get the stuff which isn't made locally. |
