The U.S. Already Has a Trade Surplus with the U.K.

Axios: “The U.S. had a trade surplus with the U.K. of nearly $12 billion in 2024. It’s of the few major countries with which the U.S. doesn’t run a deficit.”

Paul Krugman: “But back to that UK ‘deal.’ Nobody knows what will eventually come out of it, but we can be sure of one thing: It won’t lead to any significant opening of the British market to U.S. goods. Why? Because that market was already wide open before Trump

The "huge" change is that tariffs are going from 0-25% based on industry to a more flat 10%.

And UK will buy a little more hamburger from US.

Even Trump couldn't figure it a lie to make it sound like a win. He's settling for a deal, any deal at all.

REPORTER: But we're seeing as a result that ports here in the US, the traffic has really slowed and now thousands of dockworkers are truck drivers are worried about their jobs

TRUMP: That means we lose less money ... when you say it slowed down, that's a good thing, not a bad thing

He’s probably referring to the trade deficit. It’s a galactically ignorant statement.

And yet every single one of his idiotic utterances is accepted unquestioningly by Maga, who are collectively just as ignorant or indifferent.

Yup everyone I know who voted for him does not have a college degree. There is something to be said about that....
