US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Britain’s EU alignment is complicating efforts to expand last year’s trade deal, as new PM Andy Burnham weighs closer ties with Brussels.
The UK should declare him persona non grata and get a different shaved ape. It won’t change US policy, to the extent that such a thing exists, but at least it’ll inconvenience this tosser.
“Based on my conversations with the UK, where I say, ‘Hey, you’re free of the EU. Why don’t you liberalise a little bit, accept goods made to American standards, accept agricultural goods made to American standards?’” he said.
Agreed, but they should also liberalize trade with China (both PRC and ROC), India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and Africa.
Yes, and so is everyone else with two brain cells to rub together.
So what? The US government is massively untrustworthy.
You don’t prioritise a deal with a serial backslider who will break the deal by introducing tariffs on a whim. Also none of us even want chlorinated hormone meat.
When the person you sleep with shits the bed repeatedly and on purpose, at some point you change partner. What a concept eh…
Don’t kink shame like that, you don’t know what the Uk likes
Yeah, we’re pretty good at shitting the bed actually!!
No, we’ll shit our bed ourselves, thanks
Because the US is choosing Russia and Israel over allies.
And even over itself.
Choosing Russia and China over Europe.
Good. Fuck the US.
I’m stuck over here and I’m like "Brussles is dope. Why would they prefer us?
Why don’t you liberalise a little bit, accept goods made to American standards, accept agricultural goods made to American standards?
Because no one wants brain worms or shitty lettuce.
Is this supposed to be facetious? Here in the good ol’ US of A, we feed our livestock shit and don’t give our pickers bathroom breaks.
Because in Europe they are sub-standard
Upvote or downvote? It’s not completely clear what you mean by “they”. I think you mean American standards are below European standards. In that case, yes.
well duh. Agreements with the usa are written in pencil. america untrustworthy and deceitful
Crayon
Finger paint.
With backwards Rs and Ns
They will fuck you over the moment they can benefit just a little more from it. Particularly the current administration. What’s the point of making a deal when they will walk away from it the next day?
You mean to tell me that adding/removing tariffs multiple times a day every day, and threatening to annex your allies will make said allies choose trade relationships with other countries? Colour me fucking bamboozled.
No shit…maybe consider why
and why wouldn’t they? Trump is a fickle bastard who doesn’t keep his promises, and is corrupt as fucking hell.
If goods made to an American standard measured up to the EU standards there would be no issue. Maybe Green can answer why the UK should lower the bar instead of the US meeting the bare minimum of quality and safety.
I do not know why you would want to have closer relationship with basically your neighbors. Within hours, same-ish time zone - and relatively strong regulations.
Vs a temperamental manchild that starts wars on a whim and doesn’t even think about keeping promises/agreements.
