Boom! There it is. Plans to go “hell for leather.” Now the EU won’t be able to blackmail Great Britain. Thanks to President Trump, a man of his word.
Boris Backs Plans to Pursue Rapid Trade Deal with U.S., Use as Leverage over EU: Report
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is planning to use his pursuit of a U.S. trade deal as leverage when negotiating with the EU post-Brexit.
Mr Johnson has approved ministers’ plans to go “hell for leather” for a rapid U.S. free trade agreement, according to sources speaking to The Times. There are reportedly 70 civil servants in Whitehall prepared to work on an American trade deal, while there are smaller teams of 20 to 40 working on trade deals with Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.
Story continues below advertisementProgress on the U.S trade deal would be used to put pressure on the EU to agree a deal, with a senior government official telling the newspaper: “If we can do a deal on beef with the US, that is beef we don’t need to buy from Ireland, which means we have some leverage with the EU.”
Reports emerged on Friday that civil servants were preparing papers on the pros and cons of prioritising the agreement of a U.S. trade deal over one with the EU. Members of the Cabinet and the U.S. ambassador to the UK Woody Johnson have urged Boris Johnson to at least pursue both sets of trade talks simultaneously to pressure the EU, which has in recent weeks begun threatening the UK that it would block a trade deal unless the UK signed up to EU regulations post-Brexit.
Also on Friday, Chancellor of the Exchequer Sajid Javid made clear that the UK would be diverging from EU regulations. He said during an interview with the Financial Times: “There will not be alignment, we will not be a ruletaker, we will not be in the single market and we will not be in the customs union — and we will do this by the end of the year.”
If the UK continues to abide by EU regulations, that close alignment could impede signing free trade agreements with other countries.

The American revolution trapped the UK forever… UK is back home.
MEGA
WINNING!
Trump should add grazing rights on federal lands to the UK trade deal; there is a higher demand and price for free-range beef because free-range beef is high in Omega-3’s, low in antibiotics and the bones have a high mineral content (for making bone-broth).
Like that free range, and remove the GMO crops with higher taxes
And, grass-fed beef tastes like drek. Pull feeders off backgrounding and hard feed ’em corn and protein stock for six months … that’s the old standard for Prime (grades changed in the sixties). People today have NO idea of what a decent steak tastes like.
Where can I get me one of those “decent” steaks…..:)
We used to raise ’em. Unfortunately, today, I have to use a lot of marinade. Even at the local specialized butcher shops, I cannot find a decent steak. And, I am not about to pay for that Wagyu beef. I have tried Wagyu and it’s very good. But, for the best steak EVER, start with an “English breed” (Hereford, Aberdeen Angus, even a Shorthorn will do). Pull ’em off grass at around 650 pounds. HARD feed ’em on corn and protein stock for six months (plus). You cannot believe the marbling. Throw away your steak knives.
You sold me. If you told that to the average Californian, they’d probably look at you like you were crazy and take another sip of their wheat grass smoothie, just after the coffee enema.
And, a green coffee enema at that.
Sounds so delicious, I’m willing to pay for a flight to come try one…..:)
GREAT idea. You should post this on Trump’s FB/Twitter pages. He reads his posts all the time.

Davos: United States and China Should Try to be More Like Sweden

Higher taxes and mass immigration will end income inequality and all will be impoverished. More rapes, shootings and grenade issues would also make us more like Sweden.
Good on Boris and other countries that stand up against the EU.
Countries that stand up against the EU, should lock those countries that belong to the EU from doing trade with the free world
Naw, let the EU DIE A SLOW DEATH. They are in charge of their own fate and the fate of their people. Good for Boris and anyone else who wants to see their country PROSPER through trade with the USA!
Hope Boris is against the Global Warming push by the UN
He isn’t.
Someone needs to educate him or he is really a lefty, Wolf in Sheeps clothing
I wonder how the globalists are going to try to hamper the next move. They tried to deny us brexit and lost. They are impeaching President Donald Trump and will loose that too.
The GFA. House Democrats and some House Republicans see this as abrogating the GFA, unless this deal grants Northern Ireland a referendum automatically if they want out of the UK.
Trump and Johnson will realize Winston Churchill’s dream of a Union of the English Speaking Peoples a reality.
And then Pelosi and House Democrats will extinguish it, over the Good Friday Agreement.
We don’t want to step on UK sovereignty.
THIS is what happens when a GOOD President MAKES AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Other countries want to prosper through their own trade and resources, ALL EXCEPT MUSLIM COUNTRIES, who don’t know what that is and/or think it’s evil to prosper.
