Trump sends a message to the EU

I've just been watching Donald Trump's speech at the Republican convention live on sky news. Interesting that in part of his speech he very clearly says if he becomes President all of Americas existing trade deals will be looked at again, and more importantly any new trade deals America does will only be done on a 1 to 1 (country to country) basis. This is great news for Britain as we are leaving the EU we will be in a position to do a trade deal with America on a 1 to 1, country to country basis.

Not so good for the EU, as the structure of the EU with its 27 member states would rule them out of getting any future trade deal with America.

Ah Trump playing at divide and concur...

Would be quite funny if the EU told Trump to go fuck himself.

Because he know s that the EU is so slow at doing anything regarding trade deals that it would be quicker to go direct.

And he would get better deals for the US and you cannot deny his patriotism

Lol, but Trump already told the EU to go fuck themselves (in a subtle way) in his speech.

Saw an amusing segment on RT this morning.

There was an anti trump demo outside the convention. RT took a few Trump soundbites about defence spending and foreign policy, and without revealing the source of them, asked the demonstrators what they thought.

They were all going, yeah that's right, we aren't doing very well in xyz are we? etc etc.

Priceless

With the anti-politics mood in the western world giving a fair wind to any insurgent's campaign and with HC being so unpopular, even among many Democrats, Trump could well win the election. The Democrats should have gone for Bernie.

Hang on to your hats, it's going to be a bumpy ride. The Deutscher-Leoisach is going to stir things up a bit.

The EU has been in existence for a long time now, Britain was a member for 40 years and in all that time the EU could never manage to get a trade deal with the USA. The EU still doesn't have one now.

Since the us imports more than it exports to the EU the EU obviously doesn't need one..

Realistically it's not that big of a world though. There aren't many countries who would have the purchasing power that the citizens of the EU do. How many people in Fiji, Zimbawe, Papa Neu Guinea etc would be willing to pay the cost of American produced goods? Not many.

So with our huge export market and our ever slumping buying power, Trump will really be on the ropes with or mass of UK trade negotiators. As opposed to the ill set up EU negotiators where they don't manufacture any great cars, technologies, pharmaceuticals or have any patents not least have one or two people having an interest in buying US commodities or arms.

I have business interests in the US and so spend quite a bit of time there. You would be surprised at the parallels between the average Brexit supporter and average Trump voter in as much as they are both looking for the magic pill that will bring back halcyon days as seen through rose tinted glasses.

Your typical Trump supporter is a white Anerican who 30 years ago could have had a job for life in manufacturing and now sees wages and living standards depressed whilst "others" are seen to be doing well. Voting Trump is a way of reversing that situation by making America great again for Americans. Regrettably, the disenfranchised who will vote will, in all likelihood become even more disenfranchised when the magic pill doesn't work.

I hardly need say that the typicalBrexit supporter also sees the evil EU as the cause of all the UK failings and also expect a return to halcyon days once "free" of the EU. Once again, the disenfranchised who are looking for longer term, more stable employment again are going to be even more disenfranchised when they realise that their ills were never the fault of the EU at all.

If anything, the collective madness of the U.K. Brexit vote has galvanised the normally complacent and occasionally lackadaisical middle American voter to realise that if they don't make an effort in November, the lunatics really could take over the asylum.

Trump's son apparently told one of the people he was courting as his VP running mate that if he became VP then he could be in charge of foreign and domestic politics (which would include trade strategy) - I would take everything he says with a huge dose of scepticism. Things are never as they seem with him.

You want policy? Look to his running mate.

"Does the EU rally think that the US would worry about them not wanting to deal with them ? It's a big old world out there much bigger than 27 countries

The EU has been in existence for a long time now, Britain was a member for 40 years and in all that time the EU could never manage to get a trade deal with the USA. The EU still doesn't have one now. "

In all fairness there are a few reasons, one being that the EU and America are global economies, America always tries to get trade deals in which they have the weight heavily in their favour and refuse little less.

eg, They like trade deals to operate on the basis that American companies have huge lobbying power against a national government. I believe Malbro in Ghana or Nigeria is an example of this. And I believe a Norwegian family member was explaining to me a few years ago how an american petroleum company was getting arsey because Norway reserves the right to kick companies out of their territorial waters, as they lease the right to extract resources, rather than a company owning them. Basically the notion that a company can't own a nation's resources seems to piss American businesses off.

Now a union of usually left or centre right parties is not going to accept a trade deal which weakens the government, hence why TTIP on the whole of the EU, in it's current form would never get passed. Very likely with our current government like.

Additionally what do both partners produce that the other might want, that they can't get through international trade, albeit with high tariffs.The EU most likely wont allow American agricultural products in, as private companies use non-state regulated GM crops and are reluctant to provide chemical and biological data on them. The EU and America comparatively both have big car industries, pharmaceutical groups an technology hubs.

So why would either want to go to the hassle to signing what would be a very compromising trade deal?

Just watched the democratic convention TANK, boos every time Hilary Clinton was mentioned, her opponents supporters will probably vote for Trump now.

He must have p1ssed himself laughing when he saw the frosty reception. You could see the agitation and shock of the democratic speakers as waves of boo's had to be shouted over.

Greater London, South East, West Midlands

I usually pay very close to American politics (have been doing so for years since having spent three years living there) and watch "Meet the Press" regularly among other American channels and political programs. On last week's "Meet the Press" broadcast, Trump said that the EU was created to rival the economic might of the US.

The interest thing is, although he says the breakup of the EU in not good for the US, He then seemed to suggest that it is in the interest of the US that that rivalry should be eliminated by the break up of the EU so one has to think that when he backed "Brexit", there was an ulterior motive and it was indeed in the interest of the US and its continued dominance (sighting Airbus as an example), not that he thought Britain or any of the EU countries would be better off. In fact, reading between the lines, he thought the exact opposite.

See excerpt below:

CHUCK TODD:

You're not worried about, you think a fractured Europe is good for America?

DONALD TRUMP:

No, no. But we're spending a lot of money on Europe. Don't forget, Europe got together, why, primarily did they get together? So that they could beat the United States when it comes to making money, in other words, foreign trade--

CHUCK TODD:

Economic--

DONALD TRUMP:

Okay? And now we talk about Europe like it's so wonderful. Hey, I love Europe, I have property in Europe. I'm just saying, the reason that it got together was like a consortium so that it could compete with the United States--

CHUCK TODD:

So what you're saying is all this stuff is good for America, even if it's not good for Europe?

DONALD TRUMP:

Look, you take a look at Airbus. They make more planes now than Boeing, okay? They got together, all of these countries got together so that they could beat the United States. Okay, so we're in competition. So you know, we're in competition in one way, we're helping them in another way. It is so messed up.

This is pretty much nail on head.

Another similarity between Trump and brexit supporters is the apparent lack of appreciation that, in any negotiation or deal, more than ones own wishes can actually be a factor. The stupid shithead dummies.

When was that? I watched the entire night Bill Clinton was speaking, the night Michelle Obama spoke and the entire night Hilary spoke and it was very unified, compassionate, sensible and realistic. Complete with a few facts here and there, which seemed a foreign concept to the republicans.

Also the republicans had cruz turn up and denounce him from the stage, many prominent republicans such as the Bushes didn't even turn up and even Ronald Reagan was barely mentioned.

of course a large contingent of Americans want a independent Britain/other EU nations, and or the breakup of the EU. When a post Brexit Britain negotiates trade with America, they will have the greater clout than us, therefore they can make the negotiations more favourable for them.

well Trump never actually said he wanted to shaft the UK did he? Oh wait sorry you just made that up ...

It was not the USA who said no talks until after Brexit that was the EU. we are already setting up trade offices in various parts of the USA and have opened up discussions.

And given the USA wanted us IN the EU so we could be a Trojan Horse for their Foreign Policy where was the wish to 'shaft the UK'?

And you happily forgot to mention the UK is the single biggest inward investor INTO the USA just like the USA is the single biggest inward investor INTO the UK. So if some President wishes to play shafting they will be getting phone calls from very wealthy donors and lobbyists....

He is also not President yet. My point being that whoever becomes President may actually be persuaded by the needs of the US to do a good deal with the UK given the massive financial and trade ties between us let alone the unique military and defence co-operation.

Any President, Prime Minister or Trade Delegation has the job of getting the best deal for their country. Trump is just being a Dick (again) for blowing diplomacy out of the water by stating facts. It is a fact that the break up of the EU would be good for American exports because they could negotiate punitive individual deals with minnows rather than go head to head with an eqally big fish.

Imagining that the US, China or anyone else will do a good deal with us "Because we are British" is naive in the extreme.

Just like in real life it always better to approach any negotiation from a position of strength and that strength comes from the size of the market that you represent. A small market looking to get a deal done with a big market is not going to expect any kind of parity, let alone favourable outcome.

Look, you are just basing that on the way it has worked for millennia. This is a new era and don't forget we have some of the finest minds in the country to overwork on this, supplemented by some of the shrewdest political tacticians this country has ever produced.

Also when we were the worlds biggest empire we used to get some pretty advantageous deals done in our favour back then I can tell you. Imagine what we can do these days freed of not only the shackles of all those flag waving piccaninnies.

I am presuming that your post was written with comical irony in mind?

Just try to think it through rationally rather than how you would want it to be. Firstly, we do not have the finest minds to work on it - we don't have hardly any trade negotiators at all right now.

Secondly, the reason that trade deals have always worked the way they have is because they have to cater for respective market sizes and demand - it is logical and common sense. If I produce 100,000 tons of products but you already have your own domestic producers of those products but you produce 1,000,000 tons of products of which half would swamp my own domestic market but I do want access to the other half that I don't produce - who has the better hand? I would have to insist on import duties to protect my own smaller domestic market.

It is not complicated and it doesn't rely on anything other than market size and demand.

As for your comments about the Empire - refer to market size back in those days.

Going back to the sarcasm of how the USA will never need to do a deal with the UK...

Latest trade figures (May 2016) showed that of the top 5 trading partners Germany was first, the USA was the second followed by China. And the USA was the only one that bought more from us (£3.7 Bn) than we bought from them (£2.8 Bn) and this is probably due to us having to stick to EU tariffs that penalise imports (like 10% for US cars arriving here where they charge 2.3% on British cars).

In 2015 the USA was the UK's biggest export customer in Goods ($66.5 Bn) and Services and regularly trades a deficit with us. The USA buys some 15% of our Exports. There is clearly a demand for British exports in the USA and likewise here for US exports and when we can reduce tariffs that will only increase trade between the two countries. So they will want to 'do a deal' and Obama was just playing the Cameron game when he talked about 'queues'.

Interestingly in 2015 8 of the top 15 UK export customers were non EU countries.

"I've just been watching Donald Trump's speech at the Republican convention live on sky news. Interesting that in part of his speech he very clearly says if he becomes President all of Americas existing trade deals will be looked at again, and more importantly any new trade deals America does will only be done on a 1 to 1 (country to country) basis. This is great news for Britain as we are leaving the EU we will be in a position to do a trade deal with America on a 1 to 1, country to country basis.

Not so good for the EU, as the structure of the EU with its 27 member states would rule them out of getting any future trade deal with America.

Ah Trump playing at divide and concur...

Would be quite funny if the EU told Trump to go fuck himself."

The EU has neither the balls or the financial clout to do that. The US is still the largest consumer economy in the world and without the UK, the EU is not in a position of strength when dealing with the US.

F*** the EU.

I think that if you consider what defines an economy without bias, that is a market with single currency and central bank you will find that the € zone is around the same size if not larger than the USA, further if you include all the countries in the EU except the UK as we are leaving then the EU is the bigger by a considerable margin.

However I understand how many will not believe this after all we are always being told that the USA and $ are all powerful so why should we treat the € zone in the same way as we treat the US $ zone?

Your point is?

Remember we are still in the EU, our government has not even started the exit negotiations.

And even when we do leave the EU's population of 435 million will still be 120 million larger than the USA's population...

You seem to be missing the point, it doesn't matter if the population of the EU is 1 person or 1 billion people, if Trump becomes President then the USA won't be doing any trade deals with the EU. He clearly said so in his speech at the republican convention. The UK on the other hand, now we have voted to leave, will be in a position to do a trade deal with the USA on a 1 to 1, individual country to country basis.

Now considering the USA is much bigger than the UK in market size as some have pointed out on this thread, why then would the UK get a 'good' deal from the USA?

Well it's very clear from Mr Trump's comments that he doesn't like the EU much, so on that basis he may give the UK a 'good' deal as a way of getting one over on the EU.

I think you like many are deluding yourself.

You are correct Trump and the US business community do not like the EU. But that is because it is big enough to tell them all to fuck off!

The USA does not like anyone who is big enough to tell them fuck off!

The USA does not give good deals to anyone they can dictate terms to, that is why they do not like anyone big enough to tell them to 'Fuck Off'!

The only deal the US will give us after we leave the EU is one where their corporations get to rape us and we get to pay them for the pleasure!

Well it's very clear from Mr Trump's comments that he doesn't like the EU much, so on that basis he may give the UK a 'good' deal as a way of getting one over on the EU.

I think you like many are deluding yourself.

You are correct Trump and the US business community do not like the EU. But that is because it is big enough to tell them all to fuck off!

The USA does not like anyone who is big enough to tell them fuck off!

The USA does not give good deals to anyone they can dictate terms to, that is why they do not like anyone big enough to tell them to 'Fuck Off'!

The only deal the US will give us after we leave the EU is one where their corporations get to rape us and we get to pay them for the pleasure!"

so what deal have they got with the EU?

The UK has historically good relations with the USA, we could be considered their closest ally and we have the 'special relationship' with them. I'm considerably more optimistic about our trade relationship with them than you are. Only time will tell what develops.

They dont, they are trying to get the EU to sign up to the TTIP and are finding that they cant dictate terms to the EU. Which is the reason why Trump and the rest of corporate America are doing everything they can to subvert and destroy the EU and particularly the € zone.

Can I gently point out to those who say the USA will not do a deal with us that they actually buy more from us than we buy from them. Probably because we have to invoke the EU protectionist Tariffs to non-EU countries.

The USA already does a very large trade with us as we do with them. We are the USA's largest single inward investor and likewise the USA with the UK. We are militarily closer to the USA than any other country and the USA respects us for what we do with them (rightly or wrongly) and the simple fact we are, and have always been, the only European country funding Defence spending over the NATO minimum of 2% GDP. And that is why the USA has a preference for things British than things European.

Liam Fox has already been there and opened up Trade negotiations and opened more UK Trade Offices in States across the USA. We will do a deal that is satisfactory to both countries.

LoL

The idea that we have a good relationship with the USA is a fantasy. Even the most superficial knowledge of 20th century bilateral UK USA history would debunk.

Did Corporate America want the UK to Remain in the EU so it could destroy it? I don't think so. My American friends here and from when I worked there are actually highly respectful of our decision. They admire our courage to break away and respect independence and freedom for a country to go its own way. After all that is what they did 240 years ago. They want us to succeed not fail and I can see a lot of support coming from across the Pond.

"You seem to be missing the point, it doesn't matter if the population of the EU is 1 person or 1 billion people, if Trump becomes President then the USA won't be doing any trade deals with the EU. He clearly said so in his speech at the republican convention. The UK on the other hand, now we have voted to leave, will be in a position to do a trade deal with the USA on a 1 to 1, individual country to country basis.

Now considering the USA is much bigger than the UK in market size as some have pointed out on this thread, why then would the UK get a 'good' deal from the USA?

Well it's very clear from Mr Trump's comments that he doesn't like the EU much, so on that basis he may give the UK a 'good' deal as a way of getting one over on the EU.

I think you like many are deluding yourself.

You are correct Trump and the US business community do not like the EU. But that is because it is big enough to tell them all to fuck off!

The USA does not like anyone who is big enough to tell them fuck off!

The USA does not give good deals to anyone they can dictate terms to, that is why they do not like anyone big enough to tell them to 'Fuck Off'!

The only deal the US will give us after we leave the EU is one where their corporations get to rape us and we get to pay them for the pleasure!

so what deal have they got with the EU?

They don't have one and it's more than likely they will never have one.

I know that's why trump can make EU imports suffer didn't you realise that ..that's why UK importers to the usa will suffer as well !!!!!!!

how can you import something to somewhere?

And your use of the exclamation mark clearly shows that you are losing the plot

It quite clearly was meant to read imports! ...and the use of punctuation marks does not indicate the losing of the plot!

you just proved that it does

This comming from a man who doesn't understand the difference between what should be done and what is obligatory..!!!!!!!!!

what? Like a Residencia?

Yep you have to understand rules laws and regulations when quoting which you clearly don't "

I don't? So tell me the rules and requirements for living and working in Spain for longer than 3 months please. Educate me

Less likely Trump at the moment especially with GOP looking at sabotaging him out of desperate self preservation

On a cheery note Trump businesses especially flagship properties are in Democratic states and have had a 14% fall in revenue since his campaign has hit it's gaffe strewn stride

Very good point indeed! The EU and America are both giants of virtually equal negotiating leverage, hence the reason a trade deal would take a relatively long time to agree as neither side can effectively bully the other.

Trump's motive is that should the EU break up, or should any country break away from the EU (as Britain has and despite it being the 5th largest economy in the world), that country will be in a substantially weaker position to negotiate with with a giant like the US on an equal footing. The result? That country gets bullied into signing on the proverbial dotted line with relatively little in their favour and there's only one winner...America. That is precisely why Trump says that a trade deal with an individual country (instead of the EU) could be done in virtually no time.

Anyone thinking Trump has the interest of any country other than the US in mind (if indeed he has even the US's interest at heart), would in my humble opinion, be just a little naive to think so.

"With the anti-politics mood in the western world giving a fair wind to any insurgent's campaign and with HC being so unpopular, even among many Democrats, Trump could well win the election. The Democrats should have gone for Bernie.

Hang on to your hats, it's going to be a bumpy ride. The Deutscher-Leoisach is going to stir things up a bit.

I have business interests in the US and so spend quite a bit of time there. You would be surprised at the parallels between the average Brexit supporter and average Trump voter in as much as they are both looking for the magic pill that will bring back halcyon days as seen through rose tinted glasses.

Your typical Trump supporter is a white Anerican who 30 years ago could have had a job for life in manufacturing and now sees wages and living standards depressed whilst "others" are seen to be doing well. Voting Trump is a way of reversing that situation by making America great again for Americans. Regrettably, the disenfranchised who will vote will, in all likelihood become even more disenfranchised when the magic pill doesn't work.

I hardly need say that the typicalBrexit supporter also sees the evil EU as the cause of all the UK failings and also expect a return to halcyon days once "free" of the EU. Once again, the disenfranchised who are looking for longer term, more stable employment again are going to be even more disenfranchised when they realise that their ills were never the fault of the EU at all.

If anything, the collective madness of the U.K. Brexit vote has galvanised the normally complacent and occasionally lackadaisical middle American voter to realise that if they don't make an effort in November, the lunatics really could take over the asylum.
