Countries most likely to sign trade deals are small developed countries. Developing countries like China and India don't want their industries and services to face well-developed competition.

Boris Johnson trying to revoke promise of no border after Brexit
Boris Johnson is trying to renege on a British promise to ensure the Irish border with the North remains seamless.
