Tillis doesn't yet realize how much he is going to regret what he has done.
He thinks he's gonna be able to just not run again for Senate and retire to some BS consulting job one of his lobbies has cooked up for him. He doesn't understand that Trump's DoJ is gonna uncover every skeleton in his closet and bankrupt him.
 
If I understand correctly, they're probably willing to take an extra large buttfucking here in exchange for being the first one to have a deal.

There is going to be a flood of investment into the UK announced in the coming weeks simply due to the fact that it's the only place that has a deal, there is certainty there and markets like certainty.

Macroeconomics are confusing as fuck but that aspect alone is a massive win for the UK that's difficult to quantify. I imagine this will be the case for the first 10 or so countries that sign.
 
Overall I think the primary objective of the deal was diplomatic in nature. The UK rushed to get in first with negotiating something and show a willingness to play ball.

That said however, the UK's largest exports to America are engines and cars, the former of which we won't have to pay a tariff on at all apparently, alongside steel and aluminium.
Rolls-Royce in particular makes a lot of very large, important industry-oriented engines. Trump joked about the cars in the press conference but that is only one part of their business.

Also, this deal seems oriented in a manner not so much that it will snuff out domestic farming, but rather steal market share from the EU, who Trump was not hesitant to speak Ill of.

Overall it seems like a mutually beneficial deal, and I’m excited to see the changes on the ground.

Also also, quit being a bunch of faggots and shitting on (white) British people all the time. I get that it’s part of the Redditfarms groupthink but it just looks pathetic.

It's true....they elected conservatives to fix things for a decade and they got fucked....
 
UK Value Added Tax is 20%.
Maintaining the 10% tariff allows America to compensate for not having a similar tax in place (unless VAT is present in some states and not others). I feel retarded for not considering this. Maybe Trump should bring it up more. I guess optics-wise it's not as bad as tariffs because it's applied indiscriminately to every company rather than entire countries, but it's still a tariff in all but name. It even applies to digital goods, at least in the UK, but at a lower rate (2% or 17%, can't find the actual figure). In a way it's worse than a tariff since it applies at any life cycle of the product/good being sold, rather than just being the entry fee for the good itself into the country. Crazy.

The Farms is unavailable in the UK, due to the UK attempting to enforce their retarded speech laws. A British citizen has committed literal terrorism, in Null's real name, and in over a decade the only thing the UK government has done, is pay the dole to the terrorist. Not to mention protecting systematized rape, while whites are imprisoned for jokes.

It's not a joke, it's not 'groupthink' it's what around 100 million US voters think of the UK.
 
Tiny correction: They won't have to pay any National Insurance tax for the first 3 years of living in the UK on a Visa. They'll benefit from our services whilst not paying anything into it.
"We need migrants to keep the NHS funded! Oh, and migrants won't be paying to keep the NHS funded. No refunds."
