Unencumbered by EU rules, Britain is free to enjoy chlorinated chicken and other delights of American food that's causing America to be the only rich country where people's life expectancy is decreasing.
The big problem is the Irish Sea border within the UK: If a US/UK deal reduces food quality in Britain, or increases divergence of any form between UK/EU regulations, the EU will insist on tighter controls on exports from Britain to Northern Ireland. At the moment those controls are very much "light touch" and the EU is being very accommodating n trusting Internal UK cross-border trade. But that will change drastically if Trump gets involved because trust will evaporate.
@@sirbillthegreat8871 Yes, but that's where "trust" comes into play: The EU need to trust the importer that the goods being imported will stay in NI, and not be sold or moved into the Irish Republic. If that trust is not earned, it is much more difficult to move goods from Britain to NI. And Trump has proved himself untrustworthy so many times...
When it comes to the US, no deal is definitely better than a bad deal. There are no good deal options with the US, they have anyone they "negotiate" with over a barrel. There's a good reason trade talks between the US and EU collapsed, the EU was not prepared to accept much of the US's demands.
🇬🇧 has already trade deals with 13(?) US states. Despite the Democrats in power HMG went behind their backs and negotiated trade deals individually and re-joined the WTO and joined the CPTPP.
@@English_DawnStates in USA have no power to enact trade deals, as it’s a reserved federal matter. What UK has agreed is promotion of trade - fairs, advertising, etc.
Also, a question that I have, wouldn't many sectors of the UK's economy end up bankrupting or negatively affected? Despite the deindustrialisation that happened both in the UK and US, the latter still has a much more competitive and productive industry and overall economy. Especially since Trump has been clear that he wants manufacturing to be brought back into the US and will, more than likely, subsidise many sectors of the economy -- so the UK would literally have no chance and become the 51st state.
I’m so glad starmer has the sense not to import US pharmaceuticals to the UK, that would cripple the NHS. The jacked up prices and the ambiguous threshold/benchmark that’s seen as safe/effective is the last thing we need.

Tip from Canada: dig your heels in on trade issues that matter. Canada had to renegotiate our trade deal with America and we thru in a lot of things that actually helped us. Trump cares about the PR; failure isnt an option when getting a deal. Hold out and he'll cave.
And thank f**k for that, who wants lower grade chicken and dodgy medicine from pharmaceutical companies that’s going to overcharge for the product. Net investment into the NHS means nothing if all of that is going to overpriced drug suppliers.
Seems like this is ignoring RFK's influence in Trump's health policy. Chlorinated chicken? Inclusion of US pharma in Uk? Big part of Trump's platform was against big pharma...
RFK _specifically called out_ chicken chlorination. How on earth can they do a piece on UK-US trade prospects under Trump and NOT cover this? Me thinks they've been bought...
The UK really missed the boat on that US trade deal. As long as the beef & chicken is labelled so people know where they are from then what is the problem? UK meat is fairly cheap & British people 9 times out of 10 would prefer to buy British beef, just like the Japanese prefer their own rice so let the US export their crappy meat, it wont be long before they realise that hardly anyone wants it, making it not worthwhile shipping it over.

@@2dradon2 Almost like there has been a never ending campaign by the left wing governments, and left wing media to propagandise our people. chalking up every bad decision our politicians make as a fault of Brexit.
@keithknight42 Like I said. I think we're going to see radical improvements in US food standards now that RFK Jr. is expected to be Health Secretary in Trump's administration. RFK Jr. has his head screwed on straight when it comes to health.
Obama said "we trade with blocks" and we're out of one of the biggest ones going, so we're at the back of the queue. And I don't want their eggs or chickens anyway, they're not hygienic enough.
There is nothing with US food standards. The chlorine washed chicken and hormone beef are just protectionist talking points - as is the US ban on UK beef and beef products. They are only in place to protect domestic producers. Americans are not dropping down dead from eating their beef or chicken and nor are UK citizens getting ill from eating their home-grown beef.
@@distinctdipole Brexit made little sense after 2017, and it was a lousy concept in the first place, but it may have had some positives. She should not have triggered art.50 because at the time circumferences had already changed.
@alistairmonro Fair point, but it was unwise to trigger Art 50 instead she should wait as long as possible and prepare infrastructure, et cetera. In the meantime, she could talk to the public and explain all the facts that ERG and Tufton Street lied about. The Brexit that was promised was impossible to implement; it never existed. People were misled and failed by the media.Have a great week end.
@BanterRanterr I agree it should have waited. But iirc the UK were pressured into this by the EU, something along the line of 'we can't negotiate until you trigger it'. I also seem to remember a very remain bias from the media. Especially on panel shows. I believe the negotiations were rushed by people who never wanted to leave. I think the upshot of this is, no matter which side of the political isle we are on, the politicians screwed us all AGAIN.
Because there are none. There will never be one. In a free trade deal British companies will lose to the much bigger one of the US. They will get eaten. In the EU Britain is the bigger economy.
Like ourselves the EU has been in decline for a long time as is our mutual trade. The US is growing at the fastest rate and that is projected to continue. Over the long term the potential upside of a US deal far outweighs the downside of lost trade with the EU.
Notwithstanding also, 🇬🇧 has rejoined the WTO. 🇬🇧 Has joined the CPTPP. * Membership of the above organisations preclude 🇬🇧 joining the EU. 🇬🇧 Already has trade agreements with individual states. A 🇬🇧 & 🇺🇸 trade deal would only fill the blanks with states that have not signed up.
The US wants the UK to open the NHS to its pharmaceutical companies and buy chlorinated chicken, the UK people don't want that. Unless the US backs down a deal will never been achieved.
important to note about chlorinated chicken, the eu's ban is not predicated on it being unsafe, but on it potentially allowing poorer hygiene elsewhere to be unchecked. the eu did not ban it for being unsafe to eat.
It's also not the only problem with US food or meat products for UK or EU food standards, but it is the most ridiculous sounding one, which is why that particular item got memed on so hard by the press and the public, and Trump has given RFK a mandate to fix most or all of those issues and demonstrate a measurable improvement in US health within 2 years.
Thanks for the video, great like always. However, at the end I believe you forgot to mention that the presence of RFK as health secretary may actually have a positive reform on Food and Pharma. Thus those 2 topics may not be as much of a barrier for a US-UK trade deal as they were during Trump's first mandate.
What does the UK export the US? I buy Irish butter, but I legitimately do not know what British products are regularly in US markets or what sectors Britain exports to us.
An American perspective, take it as you will. There are a few angles that seem to be missing from this analysis. 1. PM Starmer isn't in the strongest of political positions right now. His government is built upon a very slim vote share in the 2024 elections of an already small voter turnout. His actions since his rise to the PM have been controversial in respect to how his actions are perceived to be pro-immigrant at the expense of native Brits. The question is, how much political power can Starmer wield in negotiations when his own position isn't as strong as he would wish? 2. With the Biden Administration seemingly unwilling to commit to a FTA, the UK negotiated and signed Memorandums of Understandings with eight US states, seven of which voted Trump. There are a further four which are currently undergoing negotiations. While these are certainly not binding, they are sure signs that there is a basis for stronger trade agreements with the UK in the US. 3. A minor one, but one to look at is how the Starmer Government has treated dissent voices against its policies and actions. I don't know exactly how that would affect a free trade agreement, but I wouldn't be surprised if it turned to be a stumbling block. 4. A major part of the Trump platform that helped him win was RFK Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again fusion into the standard Trumpian "Murica First mantra. With his pending appointment to the Department of Health and Human Services, which controls agencies like the FDA, I wouldn't be surprised to see changes in the way the US manufactures and processes its food. There may be a chance that the UK can encourage a market in the US for healthier food items. I fully support the UK doing what they think is best for the UK. If that means no FTA because the US won't stop washing our chicken in bleach, I'm all for it. Each nation needs to do as it deems best.
The notion that starmer is in a precarious political position right now is just not true and is generally only repeted by crazy people who say starmer needs to resign every week. He still has a massive politcal majority and will likely use it for the next 5 years at least.
@@wilhatton2406 He has a massive majority in Parliament but his approval rating is garbage. The best thing he has going for him at the moment is that the Tories for some reason elected the one person who has a _worse_ approval rating than Starmer to be their new leader, and it's _significantly_ worse. And if the Tories replace her without a really good excuse, Labour could literally just campaign on "vote Tory for another 5 years of Musical Chairs at No.10!"
RFK has given chlorination of chicken as an example of bad US food practices that need to be ended. You can see it in one of his campaign videos on his YT channel.
When it comes to a trade deal I do believe there is more grounds for it than simply the "special relationship". This is because a trade deal doesn't inherently fly in the face of an America first model depending on what industries are included. For example, one based on an exchange of US manufactured goods for UK service jobs could work quite well. The Pound is on average stronger than the Dollar making imports a valid option for consumers and reducing the reliance that most of the population has on Chinese goods (which are worse environmentally and morally than even the ugliest of the US). The injection of British money would also help jump start these US domestic operations via having a larger market more able to by thier goods in the early phase, helping them get established. The US also provides plenty of opportunity plenty of opportunities for the UK specialist worker alongside the burocrat and university educated class due to thier comparatively higher social mobility. When it comes to pharmacal trade it will be a rather big help partially when it comes to medicine for psychological issues, it only being two years ago when they were incredibly hard to get a hold of. The UK's state rather than private healthcare system also removes many of the factors that make them so expensive state side. A side benefit is also that it keeps the US interested in the European theatre so even if it leaves NATO it won't be hanging the continent out to dry due to it's vested interests in the UK. Ironically a good thing for the EU still having the US military in thier back pocket if things really hit the fan without the constant nagging.
🇬🇧 Already has trade agreements with individual states - in the teens. A 🇬🇧 & 🇺🇸 trade deal would only fill the blanks with states that have not signed up.
The term agribusiness refers to the combination of agriculture and business, encompassing all the economic activities related to the production, processing, and distribution of agricultural goods.
America would have far more power in the relationship, so any deal would favour them heavily. Doesn't mean it would not be a good thing, but it would be largely be on America's terms. Oh and of course, if it does not suit America, they'd tear it up - just like Trump did for NAFTA.
We already have deals with 8 of the states in America. Their combined wealth is worth more than the lower 23 countries of the EU. We are also, now, a member of the CPTPP which has a much bigger population than the EU
"Will Nigel Farage try to ruin any potential deal between the USA and UK by using his friendship with Trump as a method of giving himself some bargaining power / leverage / power"
The deal only needs to be as simple as an exemption from the tariffs that Trump will put up against the EU and China. Otherwise, trade between the UK and US is plentiful and in balance so doesn't need meddled with, though it would be good if the US joined CPTPP which may happen if only so that China can't.
Also:- 🇬🇧 has rejoined the WTO. 🇬🇧 has FTA's with some (13?) individual US State. California alone has a bigger GDP than France. 👉 🇬🇧 Joined the CPTPP. It cannot be a member of the CPTPP & EU. 👉Britain thought it was joining a trade bloc. They admitted they were mistaken. What trade bloc demands a share of your fish!!!!!

Not really a lot to trade between the UK and the US. Markets are too similar for the US to really find much benefit to the deal. That being said adding 62 million buyers to a market is rarely a bad thing within a trade agreement depending on terms. Brits joining NAFTA just doesn't make much sense.
I was a big supporter of UK US trade during the first Trump administration. Seemed the UK wasn't interested in a deal because "Orangeman bad" so why would they want a deal this time? UK left the EU because they didn't want deals. F them.

The 1984/85 talks resulting the CAP Rebate made it fairer so that at least Labour's policy was changed. It is a fact that the UK's membership always benefitted the EEC/EU. It is far less certain whether the UK got anything much back from it, so now we're gone.

At the moment those controls are very much "light touch" and the EU is being very accommodating n trusting Internal UK cross-border trade. But that will change drastically if Trump gets involved because trust will evaporate.
Regulations only apply if those goods that did not met EU standard are export to EU areas.
@@sirbillthegreat8871 Yes, but that's where "trust" comes into play: The EU need to trust the importer that the goods being imported will stay in NI, and not be sold or moved into the Irish Republic. If that trust is not earned, it is much more difficult to move goods from Britain to NI. And Trump has proved himself untrustworthy so many times...
When it comes to the US, no deal is definitely better than a bad deal. There are no good deal options with the US, they have anyone they "negotiate" with over a barrel. There's a good reason trade talks between the US and EU collapsed, the EU was not prepared to accept much of the US's demands.
🇬🇧 has already trade deals with 13(?) US states. Despite the Democrats in power HMG went behind their backs and negotiated trade deals individually and re-joined the WTO and joined the CPTPP.
@@English_DawnStates in USA have no power to enact trade deals, as it’s a reserved federal matter.
What UK has agreed is promotion of trade - fairs, advertising, etc.
Also, a question that I have, wouldn't many sectors of the UK's economy end up bankrupting or negatively affected? Despite the deindustrialisation that happened both in the UK and US, the latter still has a much more competitive and productive industry and overall economy. Especially since Trump has been clear that he wants manufacturing to be brought back into the US and will, more than likely, subsidise many sectors of the economy -- so the UK would literally have no chance and become the 51st state.
I’m so glad starmer has the sense not to import US pharmaceuticals to the UK, that would cripple the NHS. The jacked up prices and the ambiguous threshold/benchmark that’s seen as safe/effective is the last thing we need.
True, but hopefully with RFK now in charge, things will get a lot better.

The US is far too busy importing cheaper pharmaceuticals from Canada.
Tip from Canada: dig your heels in on trade issues that matter.
Canada had to renegotiate our trade deal with America and we thru in a lot of things that actually helped us.
Trump cares about the PR; failure isnt an option when getting a deal.
Hold out and he'll cave.
Starmer aint gonna do shit
And thank f**k for that, who wants lower grade chicken and dodgy medicine from pharmaceutical companies that’s going to overcharge for the product. Net investment into the NHS means nothing if all of that is going to overpriced drug suppliers.
Seems like this is ignoring RFK's influence in Trump's health policy. Chlorinated chicken? Inclusion of US pharma in Uk? Big part of Trump's platform was against big pharma...
Trump gave Big Pharma $10 billion to create the covid vaccinee.
RFK _specifically called out_ chicken chlorination. How on earth can they do a piece on UK-US trade prospects under Trump and NOT cover this? Me thinks they've been bought...
The UK really missed the boat on that US trade deal.
As long as the beef & chicken is labelled so people know where they are from then what is the problem? UK meat is fairly cheap & British people 9 times out of 10 would prefer to buy British beef, just like the Japanese prefer their own rice so let the US export their crappy meat, it wont be long before they realise that hardly anyone wants it, making it not worthwhile shipping it over.
Kennedy wants to improve US food standards. Why doesn’t UK push for US to adopt UK food standards.
The UK should rejoin the EU to offset the trade losses from the US tariffs
Agreed. More and more opinion polls are showing since 2021, brits support rejoining rather than staying out. Plus younger generations are far more on average prefer rejoining. Seems like a matter of time for the next generation.

Obama said "we trade with blocks" and we're out of one of the biggest ones going, so we're at the back of the queue. And I don't want their eggs or chickens anyway, they're not hygienic enough.
You don't have to. Go and support your local farmers.
Maybe the US should have better food standards, not just for export but also for their own health.
There is nothing with US food standards. The chlorine washed chicken and hormone beef are just protectionist talking points - as is the US ban on UK beef and beef products. They are only in place to protect domestic producers. Americans are not dropping down dead from eating their beef or chicken and nor are UK citizens getting ill from eating their home-grown beef.
Still without a US trade deal, and still without any Brexit benefits... just ever increasing Brexit costs.
@@distinctdipole Brexit made little sense after 2017, and it was a lousy concept in the first place, but it may have had some positives. She should not have triggered art.50 because at the time circumferences had already changed.

@alistairmonro Fair point, but it was unwise to trigger Art 50 instead she should wait as long as possible and prepare infrastructure, et cetera.

People were misled and failed by the media.Have a great week end.
@BanterRanterr I agree it should have waited. But iirc the UK were pressured into this by the EU, something along the line of 'we can't negotiate until you trigger it'. I also seem to remember a very remain bias from the media. Especially on panel shows. I believe the negotiations were rushed by people who never wanted to leave.
I think the upshot of this is, no matter which side of the political isle we are on, the politicians screwed us all AGAIN.
Because there are none. There will never be one. In a free trade deal British companies will lose to the much bigger one of the US. They will get eaten. In the EU Britain is the bigger economy.
Like ourselves the EU has been in decline for a long time as is our mutual trade.
The US is growing at the fastest rate and that is projected to continue. Over the long term the potential upside of a US deal far outweighs the downside of lost trade with the EU.
US growth is built on Debt, 35 trillion and counting, they are heading for a crash, it's only a matter of time.
Notwithstanding also,
🇬🇧 has rejoined the WTO.
🇬🇧 Has joined the CPTPP.
* Membership of the above organisations preclude 🇬🇧 joining the EU.
🇬🇧 Already has trade agreements with individual states. A 🇬🇧 & 🇺🇸 trade deal would only fill the blanks with states that have not signed up.
The US wants the UK to open the NHS to its pharmaceutical companies and buy chlorinated chicken, the UK people don't want that.
Unless the US backs down a deal will never been achieved.
Horsemeat is legal in the UK, but treated chicken is 'grim'. We all have our standards. They eat dog and cats in some east asian countries.
I like my standards high.
Horse meat isn't high.
Can? Yes.
Would? Probably not.
I mean I’m not sure the food standards issue in his first term will be present in this one with RFK and his commitments to better food in all honesty
The UK is OUR colony now-What a turn of history.
Are you referring to America, or India, because both seem true at this point.
Touch grass
After the Labour woke brjgade headed by Starmer insulted Trjmp repeatedly, it seems unlikely that the UK will be able get a beneficial deal.
Especially with musk near trump
I hope Trump gives Starmer absolutely nothing. Pay back for sending Labour over here to campaign for Harris
Seriously, where is the follow up to that story?
Shipment arrives from 'Murica, UK slaps a label on it, Shipment arrives in EU, profit.
Free trade and 100% open markets for everything between the US and UK would be cool.
I'm happier with having the ability to make our own deals, not necessarily with the US unless there's some mutual benefit.
Considering the Torries during Trump's first term were comparably far left to him, I seriously doubt Starmer is going to have any hope.
important to note about chlorinated chicken, the eu's ban is not predicated on it being unsafe, but on it potentially allowing poorer hygiene elsewhere to be unchecked. the eu did not ban it for being unsafe to eat.
It's also not the only problem with US food or meat products for UK or EU food standards, but it is the most ridiculous sounding one, which is why that particular item got memed on so hard by the press and the public, and Trump has given RFK a mandate to fix most or all of those issues and demonstrate a measurable improvement in US health within 2 years.
Why do people keep saying "special relationship" as if that's a real thing? Not a single American believes such a relationship exists.
In my experience, every American is Pro-UK. It is certainly Americans favorite foreign country, with the possible exception of Canada.
Nor most Brits, especially since 2003 - as can be seen quite evidently in the movie _Love Actually_
Welcome to NAFTA3. Hopefully the UK accept the deal because it has been the only option you all had since Brexit.
I'm going vegan if that chicken comes here!
As an American, we need to strengthen our food administration and toughen standards. Unhealthy food= unhealthy people
The U.K. should just bring back the unilateral free trade they had from the 1860s to 1930s.
The US should tie freedom of speech to the deal.
Our government would not understand what it is. The concept is alien to Labour.
Thanks for the video, great like always. However, at the end I believe you forgot to mention that the presence of RFK as health secretary may actually have a positive reform on Food and Pharma. Thus those 2 topics may not be as much of a barrier for a US-UK trade deal as they were during Trump's first mandate.
What does the UK export the US? I buy Irish butter, but I legitimately do not know what British products are regularly in US markets or what sectors Britain exports to us.
Trump will never give us anything unless we simultaneously bend the knee and bend ourselves over a table, we would lose *_BIG TIME_*
Are you kidding me? Trump hates Starmer, no trade deal next 4 years
Starmer is too busy worrying about what people are saying online then to worry about a trade deal anyways.
An American perspective, take it as you will.
There are a few angles that seem to be missing from this analysis.
1. PM Starmer isn't in the strongest of political positions right now. His government is built upon a very slim vote share in the 2024 elections of an already small voter turnout. His actions since his rise to the PM have been controversial in respect to how his actions are perceived to be pro-immigrant at the expense of native Brits. The question is, how much political power can Starmer wield in negotiations when his own position isn't as strong as he would wish?
2. With the Biden Administration seemingly unwilling to commit to a FTA, the UK negotiated and signed Memorandums of Understandings with eight US states, seven of which voted Trump. There are a further four which are currently undergoing negotiations. While these are certainly not binding, they are sure signs that there is a basis for stronger trade agreements with the UK in the US.
3. A minor one, but one to look at is how the Starmer Government has treated dissent voices against its policies and actions. I don't know exactly how that would affect a free trade agreement, but I wouldn't be surprised if it turned to be a stumbling block.
4. A major part of the Trump platform that helped him win was RFK Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again fusion into the standard Trumpian "Murica First mantra. With his pending appointment to the Department of Health and Human Services, which controls agencies like the FDA, I wouldn't be surprised to see changes in the way the US manufactures and processes its food. There may be a chance that the UK can encourage a market in the US for healthier food items.
I fully support the UK doing what they think is best for the UK. If that means no FTA because the US won't stop washing our chicken in bleach, I'm all for it. Each nation needs to do as it deems best.
The notion that starmer is in a precarious political position right now is just not true and is generally only repeted by crazy people who say starmer needs to resign every week. He still has a massive politcal majority and will likely use it for the next 5 years at least.
@@wilhatton2406 He has a massive majority in Parliament but his approval rating is garbage. The best thing he has going for him at the moment is that the Tories for some reason elected the one person who has a _worse_ approval rating than Starmer to be their new leader, and it's _significantly_ worse.
And if the Tories replace her without a really good excuse, Labour could literally just campaign on "vote Tory for another 5 years of Musical Chairs at No.10!"
RFK has given chlorination of chicken as an example of bad US food practices that need to be ended. You can see it in one of his campaign videos on his YT channel.
When it comes to a trade deal I do believe there is more grounds for it than simply the "special relationship". This is because a trade deal doesn't inherently fly in the face of an America first model depending on what industries are included. For example, one based on an exchange of US manufactured goods for UK service jobs could work quite well.
The Pound is on average stronger than the Dollar making imports a valid option for consumers and reducing the reliance that most of the population has on Chinese goods (which are worse environmentally and morally than even the ugliest of the US). The injection of British money would also help jump start these US domestic operations via having a larger market more able to by thier goods in the early phase, helping them get established.
The US also provides plenty of opportunity plenty of opportunities for the UK specialist worker alongside the burocrat and university educated class due to thier comparatively higher social mobility.
When it comes to pharmacal trade it will be a rather big help partially when it comes to medicine for psychological issues, it only being two years ago when they were incredibly hard to get a hold of. The UK's state rather than private healthcare system also removes many of the factors that make them so expensive state side.
A side benefit is also that it keeps the US interested in the European theatre so even if it leaves NATO it won't be hanging the continent out to dry due to it's vested interests in the UK. Ironically a good thing for the EU still having the US military in thier back pocket if things really hit the fan without the constant nagging.
🇬🇧 Already has trade agreements with individual states - in the teens. A 🇬🇧 & 🇺🇸 trade deal would only fill the blanks with states that have not signed up.
Hopefully not
1:30 saying Agri instead of Agricultural doesn't save a huge amount of time, but it does make it sound like you're saying "angry businesses"
The term agribusiness refers to the combination of agriculture and business, encompassing all the economic activities related to the production, processing, and distribution of agricultural goods.
America would have far more power in the relationship, so any deal would favour them heavily. Doesn't mean it would not be a good thing, but it would be largely be on America's terms.
Oh and of course, if it does not suit America, they'd tear it up - just like Trump did for NAFTA.
NAFTA still exists, Trump just changed the name.
Trump have an emotional attachment to the UK like he does to Israel. He might abandon some of his America first for it
We already have deals with 8 of the states in America. Their combined wealth is worth more than the lower 23 countries of the EU. We are also, now, a member of the CPTPP which has a much bigger population than the EU
In times of tariffs, Starmer would be foolish to not aim for a US-UK Trade Deal!
"Will Nigel Farage try to ruin any potential deal between the USA and UK by using his friendship with Trump as a method of giving himself some bargaining power / leverage / power"
Also worth mentioning if such a deal did go through most experts think uk gdp would only increase by around 0.1 - 0.3% over a number of years
Hopefully not. The UK population has to take responsibility for whom they elected !!!!
The deal only needs to be as simple as an exemption from the tariffs that Trump will put up against the EU and China. Otherwise, trade between the UK and US is plentiful and in balance so doesn't need meddled with, though it would be good if the US joined CPTPP which may happen if only so that China can't.
The UK can never rejoin the EU because it will never have the Euro as its currency 😢
Technically that might not be a real hurdle. The issue is that the opt-out is not a formal one. Sweden does not have the opt-out either.

Not really a lot to trade between the UK and the US. Markets are too similar for the US to really find much benefit to the deal. That being said adding 62 million buyers to a market is rarely a bad thing within a trade agreement depending on terms. Brits joining NAFTA just doesn't make much sense.
I was a big supporter of UK US trade during the first Trump administration. Seemed the UK wasn't interested in a deal because "Orangeman bad" so why would they want a deal this time? UK left the EU because they didn't want deals. F them.

@@paologat The deal that Heath signed up to was manifestly unfair in that it involved us paying full price into the CAP whilst getting very little back from it. This was part of the reason why Denis Healey had to go to the IMF for a bailout in 1976 and a lot of the reason why Labout ran in 1983 on a policy of withdrawing from the EEC - even without a referendum.
The 1984/85 talks resulting the CAP Rebate made it fairer so that at least Labour's policy was changed. It is a fact that the UK's membership always benefitted the EEC/EU. It is far less certain whether the UK got anything much back from it, so now we're gone. I don't believe we will ever be back and if we cant make a decent fist of things in the Free World - or "Third countries" as the EU call us, then that's our problem to deal with.
@@paullarne UK used to get a 1000% return on investment on its membership fees (4% boost to GDP vs 0.4% discounted membership fee). Looks quite good to me.
