    The economic devastation and mess from splitting the EU would not benefit America the only country that would win is his puppet master Putin.

    And whoever would take a deal that would screw the UK would be counting the days until they have to be kicked out of office. Donald Trump is hated in the UK any opportunistic politician would take advantage of something like this and take power.

    Problem with media is that they are reporting this crap without adding the following '' president Trump doesn't understand that asap is meaningless and that this kind of deals takes years''

    If anybody sees this as boost for Theresa May that person is probably on some good shit because I doubt that May herself or anybody from the British government gives a crap about trade deals that at best that will take years to sign.

    In the end this is just Trump talking out of turn about things that ''nobody knew it would be this complicate''

    Yes, it makes it easier for him to do China's work for them.
    Split up the EU and be conquered by China, great plan!

    I disagree, Russia does not have enough economig might to be of consequence if the EU is out of the picture.
    His tactics won't work on China. If the EU disappears before he has set up his immitation of it then he is done for.

    And just to be clear, "fast" means it takes years, otherwise it will take decades.

    Free trade? We MAGA no more? Is Trump actually going to not put America first?

    Oh am I kidding. Trump says anything he feels like saying. I wonder just how many lies this guy has said in his entire life.

    For Putin it is not only about economics without the EU and NATO he can freely go on to conquer other countries or "annexing" them without worry of any opposition. He also has to option of getting the windfall by opening new markets to Russia whether he would take the peaceful or force route I can't say.

    Well, that's encouraging at least and provides a scrap of leverage in competitiveness going into the talks.

    How is this (assuming the ftd between US and the UK) is providing a scrap of leverage in competitiveness going into talks (assuming UK - EU talks)?

    Would not one country getting items cheaper or more readily than the other offer a scrap of leverage?

    Considering the ftd with the US comes after the negotiations with the EU i have no idea how the former can be leverage in the later. I mean, there is nothing but a "promise", that's basically nothing.

    We're already aware that you're wrong on that front, so.

    Indeed. The ONLY time free trade is desirable is between nations of of similar levels of development, so that the working classes of those nations aren't fcked by wage suppression.

    Also, the US will always have Britain's back. They know which side their bread is buttered on. Oh the irony, right? Washington/Jefferson/Adams etc would laugh themselves silly at the reversal of fortune.

    I feel for the UK people who takes anything from Trump's mouth as something reliable.
