The Germans have kindly pointed out that there are so many chasms to be bridged in the draft trade deal between the US and the EU that it looks unlikely that a deal will ever be struck. Which means that, unlike President O’Bummer’s contention, there will be no queue for Britain to be stuck at the back of.
The choke points include the US refusals to give up a “Buy American” preference and to open up tendering for major contracts to include EU countries by compulsion. And furthermore, the absence of this famous trade deal doesn’t prevent European firms from trading with the US right now.
