Donald Trump announces plans to hit the UK, Denmark and other European countries with a 10% tariff on “all or any goods” exported to the US from 1 February
In a post on Truth Social, the US president says these will remain in place until “such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland”
Not sure we care anymore, since the free trade agreement between EU and Mercosur was signed today. We don’t really need to trade with the US anymore. South American provides a huge export market for our products, and they supply better quality agricultural imports than the US can anyway.
I don’t know for UK, but I’d reckon most of the commercial deficit in EU wrt USA is gas, not food.
As an Australian I am hoping this fastrackts the Australian one with the EI but our government is so far up the US’s arse, possibly were getting pressure from the US not to.
Anything that brings the world closer together is a good thing!
