Justin Trudeau wants to revive UK-Canada trade talks in shadow of Trump
Summary
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is pushing to restart stalled trade talks with the U.K. as Canada seeks to reduce reliance on the U.S. amid Trump's trade war.
While Trudeau secured a temporary delay on U.S. tariffs by agreeing to border security measures, uncertainty remains.
Talks with the U.K. broke down last year over agricultural disputes, but Canada sees renewed negotiations as beneficial for trade diversification.
The UK needs this, but Kier doesn't seem too keen on totally removing his lips from Trump's diseased orange ass
100% we won't see Starmer engaging with this whilst Trump is dithering. And why should he? Canada turning to us after being spurned by America isn't a good look. Especially as we would then risk the orange one's wrath
It isn't a zero sum game. A trade agreement didn't work out in the previous geopolitical/economic environment. Things have changed. Canada is feeling vulnerable and that potentially leads to a better deal for the UK. Simultaneously, the UK can cozy up to Trump as much as they want.
The Canadian dairy cartel is a major obstacle unfortunately.
It would be easier to make free trade agreements with other countries if we had free trade within our own country.
Why do they get a say
They are indeed, especially when it comes to talks with the EU as a whole. Our regulations are much better than the US but not up to EU standards.
'Make America Great Again' makes Brexit great again!
