re: Based Boris wants a UNILATERAL trade deal with US before negotiating with EU

The UK has the EU bigtime on these trade deals. See, the EU sells the UK more goods than the UK sells to the EU.

Power of the purchaser. Similar reason China never had a chance vs US in a trade war. Well China sells more than half of their exports to the US, and though I doubt the UK will buy more than half of the EU's exports, I am sure is a good amount. With the UK out of the EU, US will surely tap into some of that market(cars, wine, and dairy products and cheese come to mind). A free trade deal with the US will be huge leverage in negotiations with the EU. Hats off to BJ on this move.
