US tarrifs. 10% U.K., 20% EU.

Its just to get everyone rushing to do a deal, that they don't want to do, to come of his naughty list. Its his only negotiating style - show you what bad looks like, so you are happy with less good.

What does Trump actually want them to do, though. Shouldn't he have let them know by now.

EU had better tread a careful path

They are getting there gas from the US

TF for Brexit

Transam voted brexit

 

[Mottie]

How is a ten per cent tariff on top of the disaster of brexhit in any way a bonus?

Simples. It’s half of what it would have been if we were in the EU.

 

[Mottie]

The EU don’t pay anything.

Okay then, mr pedantic. Companies in the EU that import goods from the EU.

How sweet, Mottie has been waiting 9 years for a brexit benefit, and here is one which is only temporary

Trump is only around for a short while, last time he backed down over tariffs after it started destroying USA industries

brexit damage however is permanent, and EU is a far more important trade partner

If you felt like that, you shouldn’t have voted to leave but thanks for your vote anyway.

So your idea of a brexit bonus is, bad, but not as bad as others have got?

Not really a success in my book

Trump slapped a 10% Tarrif on two islands inhabited only by penguins. There are only a few people he loves more than penguins, Putin and Kim Jong Il.

Correct

Yeah, I’d have laid money that some in here would be happier if we were subject to the same tariff or greater than the EU. You didn’t disappoint.

Another analogy.

Being whipped 10 times is better than being whipped 20 times.

But not being whipped at all is much better.

I really can't see how you can claim a punishment of 10% as a bonus.

You know that leaving was wrong, you are just to weak to admit it.

The EU do a fair bit of whipping themselves don't they?, then cry like babies when somebody does the same to them. Pathetic.

Doesn't alter the fact that this really isnt a bonus .

As Trump ddemonstrates power helps get what you want. The power of the EU is much stronger than that of the little old UK on its own.

We can't even stand up to these tariffs. That is pathetic

It's a result, and a major opportunity for UK PLC.

What ?????

10% can, and is likely to do, a lot of damage to a lot of our exporters
