Overnight Vance has made vague noises about a trade deal with no specifics
"'The president really loves the United Kingdom'
“We’re certainly working very hard with Keir Starmer’s government.
"The president really loves the United Kingdom. He loved the Queen. He admires and loves the King. It is a very important relationship. And he’s a businessman and has a number of important business relationships in [Britain].
He also mentioned Europe "“I love European people"
US Vice-President JD Vance says there is a "good chance" a trade deal could be reached with the UK
The UK's trade minister agrees, but says she can't provide a "timeline" for when an agreement might be reached
UK imports to the US are charged a 10% tariff, with higher rates for cars, steel, and aluminium, but Vance says "we're working very hard with Keir Starmer's government" on a deal
But when it came to US-EU relations, Vance was less complimentary"
But meanwhile the USA is looking at putting tariffs on in the pharmaceutical trade.
I dont trust Vance at all. My first thought it, "at what costs to us". And also, not to accept trade deals that are deliberately intended to split us off from other allies - Canada, Europe. Atm all "hot air" in the on of/ on off edicts from the White House.
Its on the BBC I player news feed.
