I shoud imagine there's a lot of unease in Brussels today.:rotfl:Mr Trump promised a quick trade deal between the US and the UK after he takes office on Friday.
He also criticised "obsolete" Nato and German Chancellor Angela Merkel's immigration policies.

I suspect a quick trade deal with the US will be heavily stacked in the US's favour - he's made a big deal about massive import taxes, and he's fond of using his business clout to force terrible deals on anyone he works with.
I also suspect he'll probably want a US-UK trade deal to have some clause banning offshore windfarms.0 -

If Mrs May hasn't got us out well before the GE she knows this would be deemed a signal failure to deliver on a promise (Brexit means Brexit etc) and thus would lose voters.0 -

We are one another's largest investment partners, I envisage a deal will be built out of this existing synergy.
Whilst on the subject of doing deals with larger nations, NZ, Iceland and others enjoy a good trade deal with China - the paint by numbers logic from remainers that the smaller nation looses out is yet more muddled thinking0 -
Trump threatening 35% tax on BMW imports into the US via Mexican factories....Ouch!
Perhaps BMW need to build their proposed new factory in the rust-belt instead.“Britain- A friend to all, beholden to none”. 🇬🇧0 -

I also look forward to standing against the incumbent Conservative in the 2020 UK election, hopefully winning the seat and taking the UK back into the EU, into Schengen, into the Euro and into an ever closer Europe against the Brexiteers will. If I lose in 2020, I will re-stand in 2025 on the same promise.
The battle may have been won, but trust me, as in Farage's words, this is unfinished business.
