PM May seeks to rekindle 'special relationship' - but she must tread carefully with US President

[barryqwalsh]

At the heart of tomorrow's discussions will be setting the early ground work for a potential US-UK trade deal in coming years. This would be a boon for Mr Trump given that he is being criticised, in many quarters as having the hallmarks of an anti-globalisation, protectionist president, especially after his abrogation on Monday of US participation in the massive, proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade and investment deal. At the same time, if Mrs May could secure a US trade deal it would represent a significant win in her battle to show the UK can, post-Brexit, swiftly secure new trade deals with key economic partners outside the EU.

The EU is fucking doomed...

Trump and May, like Reagan and Thatcher, will be an unstoppable force....the liberal destruction left in their wake will be epic.....

I do not understand the linked headline. Why is Trump erratic? So far he did what he ran on during the campaign.

The man is clueless, tightly locked inside his own small bubble. A sizable minority of Americans, longing for greatness or wanting to smack down an ambitious woman and to show those people in the hellhole coastal cities what the real America is all about, has elected him.

To him, this minority is a mass movement such as the world has never seen. God have mercy.

"American carnage," my Aunt Sally: The correct term is "American capitalism."



Republicans are to blame for Trump - now they must save the US from him - Independent.ie

Much messier than you might think independence for the Scots, Welsh and Ulster for the UK and bumping Mexico out of NAFTA is just the buy in.

If the media disagree, you must be erratic!

Trump is the first true outsider ever to be boss of a major power, that confuses the media, particularly foreign media. How well this is handled is a sign of how competent a media outlet is.
