Re: President Trump 2.0
Just stop selling stuff to the USA
If it's going to cost you 10% extra, why not sell it elsewhere at *up to* 8% extra and save a quid or two while pissing Humpty Trumpy off

Yes, we just need to find other countries who will buy over £200 billion per year of extra goods and services, and take the 17.5% of the total UK trade - that should be morsel of micturition…

I was merely pointing out that, like most things, it’s not that simple (or easy)…

Yes, apologies as my answer did come over with a bit of a fighting stance (at my age, who am I kidding haha).
