Two years? Ugh. Still I hope this happens as soon as possible. I trust it means no more import duty if we're buying products from America? That would be welcome for a start even if, on a individual level, it accounts for little of the benefit that would come of such a deal.
You wonder why it's taken so long. US and EU would be a massive trading block.
Do we charge the Americans for all the actors, writers, directors and musicians we send over there? Surely we didn't charge them to take Piers Morgan.
