I have still not had anyone answer the question of why importing more from a country than we export to it is a bad thing. We get lots of good stuff from Germany. In return, all we have to give them is money, which we have. With the USA it's the opposite. Mostly because they do not produce stuff which we want and need. If we do not have a good trading relationship with the EU, including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the range of goods available in our shops and supermarkets will be vastly reduced, to our detriment.
