UK First Country To Sign Trade Deal With US, Mostly About Beef For Some Reason

The United Kingdom of England (and the other ones) has become the first country to sign a trade agreement with us, the US.

A little bit of history for those that don’t know: Britain was once America’s closest ally and before that, they were America’s greatest enemy, and before that, they were America’s greatest ally. And as the old saying goes, “My enemy’s enemy is my friend, but my enemy/former ally is my former owner.”

A trade agreement between the two countries was thus only a matter of time. With Trump’s threatened tariffs, Britain was forced to the negotiating table, falling right into Trump’s tiny tiny hands.

Britain has announced that they have successfully negotiated their interests and have in no way given in to America’s demands. On the other hand, America feels that they have successfully negotiated their interests and have in no way given in to Britains demands. So, win win.

Among the details are that the US will remove tariffs on UK steel and aluminium (it’s spelt like that when it’s over there) and in return Britain has “agreed to reciprocal market access on beef”. What? I thought beef was exactly what we were trying to avoid?

So Trump’s traded cow for metal. It really is just like Catan.

As a result of the deal, markets are up across the board. Huh, it’s almost like global trade and cooperation are good for the economy…

There’s also a lot of other numbers but I couldn’t be bothered to read them all so you can look elsewhere for that.

No doubt other countries will now be lining up around the block to bend the knee to King Trump but whatever happens, China will remain firmly at the back of the line.

Anyways, that’s the news, hope you enjoyed, come back soon.
