manxman1980 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I have seen reports that the USA and another country are trying to block the UK entering the WTO as an individual country. Does anyone have information on that and what the implications would be? In searching for the source of that I also found reports that the USA is considering leaving the WTO which would leave it "toothless". That is the first time I have seen those reports but suppose it fits the America First politics of Trump. On the subject of rising violence the below might be of some interest; https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/brexit-hate-crime-eu-citizens-xenophobia-racism-police-bracing-march-2019-article-50-a8590921.html Obviously it is very difficult to calculate what the impact of Brexit has been on all this but in my view it does seem to have given the radicals the idea that they are welcome to commit offences targeted as certain groups.

In a way the fact that Woody2 has been left to do the honours unsupported by all the rabid brexiteers on here speaks volumes about the veracity of their case?

Freggyragh Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 The point is, Woody doesn’t know how much trade with the US is done with scheduled WTO tariffs and how much is WTO rules only. I think he assumes the U.K. will be able to roll over a proportional share of the EU tariff, but that’s a topic he finds deeply confusing. As it is, on average the US puts 1.5% on EU goods, but as a bigger market the EU is able to put, on average, a slightly higher tariff on US goods (1.9%). So the U.K. has excellent trade with the US as it is, without the US dictating terms (such as food safety). I think Woody is convinced the US will offer the same terms to the U.K. after Brexit as exists now. The reality is that the U.K. will have to cobble together some schedules before leaving, otherwise minimum non-schedule tariffs apply, which will kill U.K. exports to the US stone dead. The US (and every other jurisdiction) knows the U.K. is desperate, and as everyone who’s ever done business knows, that means a severe shafting - or, as Woody calls it; ‘sovereignty’. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
