Why Britain's Brexit Trade Deal with the US is Stalling - TLDR News

This week Johnson's been in America trying to build bonds with Biden and arrange the UK/US trade deal that Brexiteers have been talking about for years. However, things don't seem to be going well with trade talks stalling before ever really getting going. So in this video we're unpacking what's going on in America and why a deal isn't forthcoming.

Soon enough, Boris will try to join the Klingon empire, despite geography.

Lesson learned: Don't throw away your old shoes until you have new ones.

UK doesn't have much leverage on the US. It needs the deal far more than the US needs trade with the the UK

This presentation creates an image of the UK leaving its group of friends from the neighborhood and now desperately looking around the city who will take them into their clique. It's embarrassing.

The US is stalling for better deals. Why wouldn't it? The US knows that the UK is in a tough spot and they can extract more concessions.

The UK should join the United Arab Emirates

I wouldn't jump into a trade deal with the UK currently, as the UK has broken many deals made with the EU in the last two years.
They've become an unreliable partner.

One small disagreement. The issue of Ireland isn’t just important to Biden, it’s important to enough of Congress to make passing any trade deal with the UK difficult to say the least.

We're over here talking about Biden like he's the only one that matters. the US has 2 chambers, neither of them would be keen on this deal

[FlyxPat]

Boris enjoyed his trip though. That’s nice.

Bozo being slapped around on the International stage has been comedy gold

If any phrase summed up brexit it would be, "undeterred be geography"

[christopherg]

"We would be deal makers"
translation:
"We will beg to get into existing trade agreements between countries that are 1-2 oceans away."

Also during Trump being President both houses said they would not pass and trade deal it was and still is dead on the water.

I have a feeling, and I really hope, people in Britain has to start to take things seriously.
The country is now run by clowns.

[C.J.M..]

Oh well, the UK still has “all the cards it held” during negotiations. They’ve still gotta be worth something, right? Collector’s items? Limited edition. Mint condition. Remember when Brexiteers thought the UK could keep all the benefits of being in the EU without the regulations and costs? Ah, nostalgia.

Jobs from immigrants NO
Fishing rights from our waters NO
Cheaper imports NO
Screwed again by the rich YES!

"Nothing was agreed in Trump's four years."

That should be his official presidential biography.

[Gillemear]

Shocking that a US President knew more about US trade deals back in 2016 than the Brexiteers, past and present
