Meaning more costs for the consumer

2019-08-27 18:01:22 UTC  

Trade with more than one country

2019-08-27 18:01:24 UTC  

Meaning they can buy less

2019-08-27 18:01:29 UTC  

Again, it's not that simple

2019-08-27 18:01:33 UTC  

Yes

2019-08-27 18:01:34 UTC  

Not every country on the planet exports.

2019-08-27 18:01:35 UTC  

It is

2019-08-27 18:01:42 UTC  

Not every country exports food, for example

2019-08-27 18:01:48 UTC  

Quite a few only import

2019-08-27 18:01:51 UTC  

Same with other goods

2019-08-27 18:02:28 UTC  

Those other countries may (Likely do) have lower standards for those goods

2019-08-27 18:02:35 UTC  

The EU has pretty high food standards for example

2019-08-27 18:03:35 UTC  

The USA and EU have very different food standards for example

2019-08-27 18:03:49 UTC  

Also the cost of transport and inspection will increase the costs to consumers

2019-08-27 18:04:10 UTC  

Because guess what, now goods need to go even further to reach us.

2019-08-27 18:05:27 UTC  

Then we're going to need to pay an initial cost to setup those trade routes and restructure our old system

2019-08-27 18:05:33 UTC  

Adding increased costs.

2019-08-27 18:05:41 UTC  

"Hur dur, just trade with other people"

2019-08-27 18:05:44 UTC  

Aint that simple.

2019-08-27 18:12:49 UTC  

6 of the top 10 food exporters are in Europe..

Only because of the EU, that list would change very fast when the UK starts buying elsewhere

2019-08-27 19:34:54 UTC  

I love how it drops by over half when it gets to No. 2 LMAO

🇺🇸

The US is big and has a large population, its just scale🤷

2019-08-27 19:54:34 UTC  

Off the bat the UK is in on the largest trade network on the planet (sorry eurocucks but USMCA is bigger than the EU).

wat

but thats only between US Mexico and canada?

UK isnt in that 😂

also, it isnt ratified

2019-08-27 19:56:08 UTC  

Yet

2019-08-27 19:56:15 UTC  

Sure but read through it. The standards set de jure make qualified producers Merican.

what do you mean by that? That the UK will be able to trade via it?

2019-08-27 19:57:57 UTC  

Basically yes they get access to the same product set via US suppliers in a FTA.

But the UK is not a part of the deal?

wat

2019-08-27 19:59:20 UTC  

Also, I mean come on they'll get a deal with Canada that'll put them within inches of an integrated market.

2019-08-27 20:30:08 UTC  

Even if they don't get deals from American and Canada (which they will) trading on WTO standard with all the other countries is a better deal than anything the EU is offering

idk, not my problem🤷

2019-08-27 21:03:48 UTC  

The trade deal hasn't even been negotiated yet, so how can you say that? @randomNPCno3

2019-08-27 21:04:32 UTC  

The ideal is: Free trade so that goods can move with as little friction as possible from A to B.
