You’re making the false assumption that international trade = good for the economy. It’s good for some economies, for others it’s just haemorrhaging money and skilled jobs.

The point of Brexit is to get trading conditions more favourable to us. Similarly, the USA is running around trying to get trade deals more beneficial to it.

This isn’t about reducing trade barriers at all. It’s about protectionism.
