Yes

Not every country on the planet exports.

It is

Not every country exports food, for example

Quite a few only import

Same with other goods

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

The EU has pretty high food standards for example

The USA and EU have very different food standards for example

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

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

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

Adding increased costs.

"Hur dur, just trade with other people"

Aint that simple.

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

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

MURICA stronk

🇺🇸

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

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

Yet

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?

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

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

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🤷

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

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

WTO adds tariffs in the way, increasing the costs of those goods

And the EU won't add tariffs if the UK does a hard Brexit?

The UK will be trading with the EU on WTO rules

Didn't you say like...3 hours ago that the EU would place tariffs on UK goods?
