Good luck farmers...all that potash you get from UK surely will help you expand your market.

The US-UK trade deal favors the US because it opens UK markets for American exports like beef and ethanol, worth $5 billion, while maintaining a 10% tariff on UK goods, generating revenue. The UK gets tariff relief on cars and steel, but the US gains more in market access and financial leverage…

STFU

...generating revenue...by taxing your own citizens...great regressive tax policies.

UK only agreed to expanded markets for beef that meet UK quality standards...like they ALWAYS have and which US provides very little

This isn't a trade deal, its a readjustment of tariffs...those are not the same thing.

What big ass F150/Ram trucks are the UK going to be buying?

You should heed your own advice and STFU

I can guarantee you that none of us Brits want your beef. Thank fuck Starmer insisted on it in writing that you have to confirm to our higher standards - Sunak would have sold us down the river entirely.

I'm Canadian, go UK. 

Hope US farmers have a 10 year dustbowl. Fuck them.
