Above is a bucket of ice cold water on Tory trade ambitions. The USA does not do competition and it does not look to trade unless there is an opportunity to offload agricultural surpluses. Since there is no question of deviating from standards, no public will to do so, and too much at stake in respect of EU trade, it is unlikely that a deal with the USA would be ratified even if there is one on the table. Our own farming lobby would see to that. Little by little, reality is beginning to bite.
