DANIEL HANNAN: Trump's election is a golden opportunity for Britain to secure the US trade deal we've wanted for decades - if Keir Starmer has the courage to seize it

Daily Mail  

What an opportunity for Britain – if we have the courage to seize it. Donald Trump is signalling that he is open to the kind of trade deal that successive British governments have been pushing for for 40 years. Trump on a State visit in 2019 - he takes huge pride in having met the Royal Family, and often shows visitors pictures of him meeting them The Prince of Wales with Donald Trump inspecting the Guard of Honour at Buckingham Palace in 2019 He describes the EU as ‘a foe on trade’; but he feels very differently about the UK. What if, as he currently seems minded, he pushes ahead with tariffs on EU exports while offering to exempt Britain’s as part of a wider trade deal? It is hoped Sir Keir Starmer will see it in those terms, and it won't cost the Treasury a penny The trouble is that, when Trump proposed a trade deal during his first term, Labour still wanted to rejoin the EU, and so opposed the concept on principle.
