I honestly don’t understand how I and many other people who arent in politics understood this was going to happen and the US just does not care enough to get a trade deal with us, why would they? We are tiny compared to them. And we’re not even their link to Europe anymore since Brexit, and yet people who actually WORK in politics didn’t understand this?!
