    Of course there can be, and there was supposed to be. The bilateral trade agreements were all supposed to go into effect on December 31st, when the UK left the EU. The problem was that there were none. No one wanted to offer the UK a great deal.

    If fact, the EU is now worried they will have another failed economy on their door steps.

    You're such a lying cunt, the UK's truly excellent Truss, serving as Secretary of State for International Trade has signed up a huge number of FTAs. There are also plans to join the CPTPP.

    We now have 61 trade deals worth £867bn - we've proved the naysayers wrong says LIZ TRUSS

    In striking trade deals across the world, I have found that these talks can go to the wire - but the result is worth the wait.

This was a slap in the face for Great Britain on Day One of Biden's presidency, and sends the wrong signal to America’s closest friend and ally.

    The Churchill bust is a sensitive issue for U.S.-British relations. The bronze bust, created by sculptor Jacob Epstein, was originally a loaned gift to President George W. Bush from British Prime Minister Tony Blair in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

    The bust is a symbol of the British people standing shoulder to shoulder with their American brothers and sisters following the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history. Another bust of Churchill, which has been on the second floor of the White House since the 1960s, is outside the Treaty Room.


    When Obama decided to send the Oval Office Churchill bust back to the British Embassy within days of taking office, the move attracted a great deal of negative publicity in the United Kingdom. It was strongly condemned by then-mayor of London (and now Prime Minister) Boris Johnson.

    The Churchill bust was returned to the White House when Donald Trump became president in 2017, and was in the Oval Office until this week.


    Indeed, under President Obama, the partnership between the two allies was not as close as it was under President George W. Bush. At the time, many British conservatives viewed the Obama administration as being at best lukewarm towards Britain, and on occasion even hostile.

    In April 2016, ahead of the Brexit referendum, Obama warned the U.K. that it would be at "the back of the queue" for a trade deal with the U.S. if the British people dared to vote to leave the European Union. His remarks, made in London, were seen as both insulting and an unacceptable direct intervention by the U.S. president in British politics.

    There are real concerns in London that Biden may translate his antipathy towards Brexit and his well-known admiration for the European Union into a downgrading of the Anglo-American alliance in favor of appeasing Brussels and the continental European powers of Germany and France.

    Looks like someone is lonely & desperate for things to bitch & moan about.

    Who cares about churchill......

    The USA saved their asses twice..

    It serves one purpose perhaps, to remind the American president that we are somehow obligated to save their asses every few decades......

    We owe him & his country nothing~ if anything it is the other way around......

    Perhaps you ppl should be concerned trump is not blasting away on social media.....

    Let us not forget that as soon as the war was over the brits wasted no time sending him packing & somehow he ends up a bum in his own country & some kinda hero here........

    The U.K. regained control over its national trade policy at the start of the month following the end of a post-Brexit transition, period.
    Biden is blowing off Slo-Jo now that it's time to hammer out an agreement

    We have set out what businesses and individuals need to do to get ready for our new start as an independent trading nation on gov.uk/transition – and many have already prepared.

    From January 1, we will be in control of our own tariff regime, setting simpler and lower rates under the UK Global Tariff.

    That will make it easier and cheaper to import goods, and we are encouraging green growth by reducing tariffs on hundreds of environmentally-friendly products – a move we hope others around the world will follow.

    Together, we are paving the way to prosperity with like-minded allies worldwide – including, I am now glad to say – our friends in Europe.

    We have a great story to tell as a free trading nation. Now Global Britain is back out in the world, flying the flag for free trade, enterprise and innovation, we can look forward in 2021 to writing its most exciting chapter yet.
