A deal in the UK sounds good but all about the details

US Vice President JD Vance said the UK could be reached a “good chance” believing I offered meT would be easier to land than with other European countries with “much more mutual relations”.

UK Business and Trade Minister Sarah Jones greeted Vnes comments and said the negotiations on the US transaction were ongoing but refused to make their progress.

“Nobody wants tariffs. Nobody wants a tariff war. We want to provide an agreement with the US,” she added.

A real question about the positive comments of the Vice President JD Vance and Jones about the Britain’s trade transaction is what they actually mean by the term “deal”.

Immediately after the visit of Prime Minister Sir Keira Starmer to the White House, it was more likely to say that the UK delegation called what was being done as an “economic transaction”.

This was to show that this “deal” was not a wide free trade agreement that covers almost all goods.

In the first term Trump, negotiations between the UK and the US have advanced quite well until controversial issues have appeared regarding the pricing on medicine and food standards.

Then Trump’s team told me they were expecting to see how close the UK will remain the European Union rules after Brexit.

This time, the “deal” seems to be about science, technology and cooperation of artificial intelligence in return to avoid tariffs.

The United States wanted to talk about the UK technology tax mainly in US digital companies and there were problems with the Internet security law.

However, now there is a big problem.

The US is now charged with 10% tax on UK imports as part of what it called it “mutual tariffs”.

But there is no common problem in these trade relations. In fact, the UK buys more in the US than the other way around.

Washington’s mood music is that this 10% is not for negotiations with anyone. This is a basic tariff that is charged almost all America’s trading partner.

Creating an exception to one country would simply invite considerable trade sabotage.

But the UK is in a different position than other nations.

Most countries faced higher tariffs – as shown on the Great Council of Donald Trump – for example, on electronics manufacturers in East Asia, and they want to keep a collection of 10%.

The pure result is that the UK may have nothing to negotiate here, and yet it is very harsh, given that there is no shortage of US trade.

The factor of liberation from electronics that benefit China’s sympathy, and the fact that machines, a large branch for Britain, the tariff by 25%, and the UK intends to complain.

Another question is that all this is done at the same time when the talks on the discharge after Brexit are set out on the eve of the UK-EU summit next month.

The word is that the UK and the EU would like to provide an ambitious transaction that carefully complies with export rules. The purpose of this discharge would be to deprive the food and farm exports of the majority.

The United States was interested in this in the past. Can the US do this part of its negotiations?

In addition, many US officials mentioned the Allies’ desire to join it by placing China.

The United States can also try to force the choice in the UK or at least encourage actions to avoid distracted Chinese goods.

All this would fly before all the sale of the UK Government that the UK could be the “most related economy in the world” with strong ties in the European products, US technology and the East Asia market, including in China.

There is a final factor here that is very intriguing.

Given last week Chaos in financial markets, including US State debtNow so that the United States needs these transactions, especially simple elections with the closest allies.

The UK has more leverage than a month ago. The Prime Minister may not want to use it, but the US cannot afford to force the UK and leave.
