And the acceptance that the EU is a priority is also acceptance that none of trump’s desires can happen.

Us downgrading to accept any US standards that are not already EU accepted. Means we will not be able to sign a simple deal with the EU.

As soon as we accept multiple incompatible tradeing rules. Trade with the EU becomes more complex and expensive.

And trump etc al have absolutely no interest in adapting to any standard but their own.

Besides this. Trump has already proven no deal signed with the US is worth the paper it is written on. Even his own deals signed with Canada are worthless as soon as he decides he doesn’t like them.

And we can never trust the nation not to vothe narcissistic idiots in again. The US is just not trustworthy as a trade partner.
