I just saw this flash up on the TV in the lobby for a conference im at.

Apparently any hard boarder between the UK and the Republic of Ireland will impact negatively the potential future trade deal between the UK and US, not sure why.

Thoughts?

"Some Democrats saying the US won’t play ball with Britain if Britain doesn’t play ball with Ireland."

So does it matter much unless they are in a position to vote down or promote policy.

Does show it's not a case of plain sailing after we actually get out.

A hard border between the ROI and NI will be the result of the UK breaking a legally binding international treaty. Who in their right minds enters into a legally binding contract with a country that has just broken a legally binding contract because it was no longer convenient for those in power?

The Irish diaspora is an influence in US politics, more so than any other part of these islands.

The US was instrumental too in the lead-up to the Belfast Agreement.

So it is a factor to consider.

Not least since any UK/US deal proposed by Trump will need sign-off from the Democrat-led house committee.

The biggest issue to do with that part of the world is agriculture....

The eu basically bans food entering the food chain that has antibiotic or steroids in it...

In the us it is common place where chicken are given antibiotics and cows are injected with hgh to make them bigger hence more beef

The us desperately want new markets for their farmers but it would mean the uk would have to lower the acceptable food standards

If the uk refused that is what could scupper the trade deal... if the uk accepted the us demand there would need to be a hard border in place so that food from the north couldn’t go into the south

For those with longer memories than Brexit, this will come as no surprise. If all the Americans who claimed to be Irish came back to Ireland - the island would sink.

Arms and money flowed from Irish American fundraisers throughout the times of the troubles and the British were very much viewed as oppressors of the Irish in those times. Americans such as George Mitchell were heavily involved in the peace process and the over-riding principle of the process was to create the feeling of a one island, Ireland whilst respecting the Unionist position as well.

Any prospect of the U.K. retreating from the status quo will be seen by many Americans as a step backwards to the bad old days and as Gerry Adams once said about the IRA “they haven’t gone away” neither has the support in America for Irish Nationalism gone away.

People need to remember that heritage passes down through generations whilst the current President has his seat for just 4 years - or 8 if he is re-elected. Irish support in America will always be present.

its interesting that parts of centy's saviour... the US/UK trade deal, and what the US want are beginning to come out.....

It says the US Department of Trade asked industry what the president should extract from post-Brexit Britain and the answers from lobbyists for big firms included:

Changing how NHS chiefs buy drugs to suit big US pharmaceutical companies.

Britain scrapping its safety-first approach to safety and food standards.

Law changes that would allow foreign companies to sue the British state.

Removing protections for traditional British products.

and thats just the beginning.... japan and south korea also want certain stuff carved into any potential agreements.......

Strictly speaking WTO says that all nations need the same treatment. So if we allow ireland to have no checks, all countries must have no checks. Same applies to imports into the EU, as they’d be giving us special arrangements.

But it actually does.

This specific topic was brought up in the meeting and the WTO representatives confirmed to John Longworth and Richard Tice that it's perfectly feasible and doable under existing WTO rules.

It might have something to do with the fact that although the USA was discovered by white skinned sea fairers, we all had ancestors already living in the USA and the Irish might have not been the only conquerors to descend on the USA.

Kevin Rudd, the former Prime Minister of Australia, has something interesting things to say about Brexit Britain and trade deals in an article in the Guardian today.

"Think the Commonwealth can save Brexit Britain? That’s utter delusion"

I’m struck, as the British parliament moves towards the endgame on Brexit, with the number of times Australia, Canada, New Zealand and India have been advanced by the Brexiteers in the public debate as magical alternatives to Britain’s current trade and investment relationship with the European Union.

This is the nuttiest of the many nutty arguments that have emerged from the Land of Hope and Glory set now masquerading as the authentic standard-bearers of British patriotism. It’s utter bollocks.

If Britain proceeds with giving effect to what future historians will legitimately describe as the longest suicide note in history by leaving the union, the cold, hard reality is that the mathematics simply don’t stack up in terms of credible economic alternatives to Europe.

Much as any Australian, Canadian and New Zealand governments of whichever persuasion would do whatever they could to frame new free-trade agreements with the UK, the bottom line is that 65 million of us do not come within a bull’s roar of Britain’s adjacent market of 450 million Europeans.

For its economic self-interest, as well as the wider political interests of the west, Britain should remain in the EU

As for India, good luck! India’s trade and commerce bureaucracy is the most mercantilist and outright protectionist in the world. They virtually single-handedly sank the Doha round in 2009. In the same year, as prime minister of Australia, I launched a free-trade negotiation with Delhi.

But a decade later, those negotiations remain at a standstill. The Australian economy is only 50% the size of Britain’s.

A substantive India-UK FTA is the ultimate mirage constructed by the Brexiteers. It’s as credible as the ad they plastered on the side of that big red bus about the £350m Britain was allegedly paying to Brussels each week. Not.

No-one is suggesting trade ceases, only that it becomes more expensive and bureaucratic.

Rudd is referring to free-trade agreements.

We are giving up on the world's biggest.

His point is that it's a delusion to think there is a better alternative out there waiting to be grasped.

It may or not be better in minutiae when considering just a small element of trade. However, taking one small aspect of our obligation to the EU does not fully empower an argument for remaining.

People voted out for more than simply a temporary trade agreement. What many fail to recognise is that there is no turning back from where we find ourselves. But much of what we do will still be done.

Insofar as additional bureaucracy is concerned, most larger businesses will have to realign their software from Intrastat to Import.

Do not believe for one minute that existing trade with the EU means no bureaucracy. It's just that the forms or online declarations will change.

Did they?

How do you know what people voted for?

How do you know how their opinions might have changed in seeing it isn't as easy as promised?

How do you know what their concerns about trade are when jobs are being lost?

Existing trade with the EU is immeasurably easier than between any other country in the world.

China and the USA do more than 30% of their trade with their immediate neighbours, but you think that making it harder for us to do the same is a good idea.

We'll trade less and consumers and businesses will be more for the privilege.

So you're seriously suggesting that the UK and Ireland trade illegally out side the rule of international law and contrary to are existing WTO terms of trade? While, at the same time, try to negotiate new FTAs under WTO terms with other nations!

I guess that's mildly more sensible and workable than anything else BREXITERS have come with in the last 3 years.

Isn't the tone of your posts like this extremely disrespectful to the likes of Fiji and Papa New Guinea, they are proud sovereign countries in their own right and should be afforded the respect they deserve. Besides aren't they just existing EU deals that are being rolled over for a post Brexit UK, and as such the EU thought them important enough to do trade deals with in the first place.

That wasn't the only news on trade today though was it. USA President Donald Trump, speaking in a joint press conference with Irish leader Leo Varadker said today that he looked forward to the UK and the USA doing a massive post Brexit trade deal and that the potential for trade between the UK and the USA after Brexit is unlimited. Don't think it went down too well with Varadker judging by the look on his face.

Oh, and if you want to study facial expressions, try that of the renowned homophobe Mike Pence when the Irish PM introduced him to his partner.

"The good news just keeps coming - trade deals today with, um, Fiji and Papa New Guinea.

That'll teach those pesky Europeans, eh?

Isn't the tone of your posts like this extremely disrespectful to the likes of Fiji and Papa New Guinea, they are proud sovereign countries in their own right and should be afforded the respect they deserve. Besides aren't they just existing EU deals that are being rolled over for a post Brexit UK, and as such the EU thought them important enough to do trade deals with in the first place.

That wasn't the only news on trade today though was it. USA President Donald Trump, speaking in a joint press conference with Irish leader Leo Varadker said today that he looked forward to the UK and the USA doing a massive post Brexit trade deal and that the potential for trade between the UK and the USA after Brexit is unlimited. Don't think it went down too well with Varadker judging by the look on his face. "

Is that a reference to American food produce? What I think is that the consumer should be free to choose. American food produce should be on supermarket shelves next to European food produce and then people can decide for themselves what they want to eat. Country of origin will be clearly labelled. If you want to Continue to buy more expensive European food produce that is your choice and you can continue doing that. What I think remainers like you are shit scared of is more people will go for the cheaper American options available. If consumers had a real choice then EU produce would be exposed as being over priced and uncompetitive. People should not be dictated to by the likes of you.

I know you hate facts and informtion, but ill try. America has a higher rate of obesity, (ranked 12th most obese country. UK is 36th) there are a number of reasons for this of course. Their food is one of the main reasons. 5 minutes research will tell you about corn syrup, and growth hormones etc etc.

So not number one then. The top 4 are Nauru, Tonga, Samoa and Kuwait.

It's a completely pointless statistic.

I could live a healthy lifestyle on American produce, with a balanced diet and plenty of exercise and not become obese.

Compared to a European couch potato who only consumed European produce, with an unbalanced diet who had very little exercise, they would most likely become obese.

Where a person's food originates from has little, if anything to do with it.

Yes i am referring to US ‘food’.

“What I think remainers like you are shit scared of is more people will go for the cheaper American options available”

Oh I’m absolutely terrified lol

I’ll say to you exactly the same thing as the Russian Prime Minister said when the US were hoping to sell their ‘food’ in Russia - if you want to eat that (shit) then you eat it!

There are plenty of Americans who wish they had the food standards we have over here in Europe. I feel very sorry for those in America who understand what is on their shelves but cannot do a thing about it, because powerful companies like coca-cola spend millions on advertising to mislead dimwits into voting against the labelling of GMOs.

People in the US are not just relatively obese, that’s the least of their problems. They are also contracting cancers from the GM food on their shelves. The GM crops also are resistant to pesticides and herbicides, meaning the farmers can drench the crop with harmful chemicals to create bigger yields.

If you want to eat that then crack on!

are you really argueing that people should be allowing it eat drug injected food based on the fact it will give people choice..... wow!!!!

this may be a low, even for you....

let me give you a reason as to why the EU don't allow food with antibiotics into the human food chain...

because it is argued that you grow a "tolerance" to it.... which means that if you need it in the case of medicines, you will need more of it to have the effect, or it may not help at all as you become immune to the positives.....

but yeah.... choice choice choice...

oh and why allow HGH injected beef in.... you seen what steroids can do to some people......

its not always a "protectionist" arguement... its not always a money arguement, .... animal welfare comes into it as well.... human welfare comes into it as well....

Can I add that “choice” might not come into it. The country of origin written on your produce. Yep, that’s an E.U. directive.

If Americans think we won’t eat their steroid riddled beef, they will be powerful enough to make us change the legislation on food labelling, so you might no longer know where your produce comes from. They will be fully aware of people’s concerns.

This kind of demand is a common in negotiating trade deals.

You’ll note that we will lose “sovereignty” with each trade deal we do with bigger countries such as the states, now that we’re out of the E.U.

"The good news just keeps coming - trade deals today with, um, Fiji and Papa New Guinea.

That'll teach those pesky Europeans, eh?

Isn't the tone of your posts like this extremely disrespectful to the likes of Fiji and Papa New Guinea, they are proud sovereign countries in their own right and should be afforded the respect they deserve. Besides aren't they just existing EU deals that are being rolled over for a post Brexit UK, and as such the EU thought them important enough to do trade deals with in the first place.

That wasn't the only news on trade today though was it. USA President Donald Trump, speaking in a joint press conference with Irish leader Leo Varadker said today that he looked forward to the UK and the USA doing a massive post Brexit trade deal and that the potential for trade between the UK and the USA after Brexit is unlimited. Don't think it went down too well with Varadker judging by the look on his face.

I hope you enjoy eating shit

We would welcome rights wingers to go and buy American food, hopefully they will just grow and grow until obese

Nonsense, there are millions of Americans who are not obese and there are millions of Europeans who are obese. Nothing to do with where the food comes from.

This just demonstrates your ignorance.

I know you hate facts and informtion, but ill try. America has a higher rate of obesity, (ranked 12th most obese country. UK is 36th) there are a number of reasons for this of course. Their food is one of the main reasons. 5 minutes research will tell you about corn syrup, and growth hormones etc etc.

You're welcome.

So not number one then. The top 4 are Nauru, Tonga, Samoa and Kuwait.

It's a completely pointless statistic.

I could live a healthy lifestyle on American produce, with a balanced diet and plenty of exercise and not become obese.

Compared to a European couch potato who only consumed European produce, with an unbalanced diet who had very little exercise, they would most likely become obese.

Where a person's food originates from has little, if anything to do with it. "

Your inability to reason and understand the full picture is outstanding.

So now you’re arguing that American food will be good for the uk because there are non-American who are obese.

Again, outstanding, the lengths you go to attempt to justify your bizarre opinions is commendable.

I’ve never known anyone have the ability to continue to argue against all the facts and information for so long without questioning themselves. That is impressive.

From Business Insider:

LONDON — Countries are likely to offer the United Kingdom worse trade deals than it currently enjoys as a member of the European Union, the former head of Liam Fox's International Trade Department has told Business Insider.

Sir Martin Donnelly, who was the Permanent Secretary of the Department for International Trade until 2017, said that the UK could offer less market access as an individual country than as part the EU, and would therefore be offered less favourable terms when negotiating free trade arrangements after Brexit.

"The United Kingdom alone can offer significantly less in terms of market access or government procurement than can all of the European Union," Donnelly said.

"That means that other countries are less likely to offer us the same deal because they don't get the same benefits," he added.

"Trade negotiators are not sentimental, they look for reciprocity of benefits."

"By negotiating as a country of 65 million, we start in a significantly less attractive position than when we are a part of a bloc of around 500 million," Donnelly told BI.

"That's what's coming back to us from the negotiations, and that is not surprising."

Not rocket science, is it?
