Summary
Stephen Moore, a senior economic adviser to US president-elect Donald Trump, urged the UK to adopt the US “free enterprise” model over Europe’s “more socialist” system, suggesting it would enhance the Trump administration’s “willingness” to pursue a UK-US trade deal.
Moore also defended US agricultural practices and Trump’s proposed 10% blanket import tariff, noting possible exemptions for allies like the UK.
UK leaders, including Keir Starmer, face pressure to balance trade ties with both the EU and US, with figures like Peter Mandelson advocating dual trade agreements amid Brexit challenges.
Uh, Socialism please.
“Well we’re all out of Socialism. We only had three bits and we didn’t expect such a rush. So whaddaya want?”
What, so my choice is “or US free enterprise”?
Oh …well… then I’ll have the chicken.
“Tastes of human sir. Would you like a white wine?”
