Will Hutton says he expects to see "the emergence of a kind of rules based kind of trading area" between Canada, the UK, New Zealand, Australia and the EU. "I think the Republican Party would split over it", he says.

A few of them will shut the barn door after the horses are all gone. Well ... OK.

And of course those countries and regions will make a new trading bloc, and of course we will be excluded, and no one will give a shit if Mump is enraged by it.

When you fuck with a country's trade, it's inevitable that they will find other trading partners.

I wish them well. I'd apologize to them if I could.

Refusing to work with those, who do not always agree with us on everything, is a recipe for sure disaster

The Comprehensive & Progressive Trans Pacific Partnership. The US was supposed to be a member. Didn't happen. The others went ahead and the CP-TPP is what happened. The UK joined in after Brexit. The EU could join in and other Commonwealth countries could join in too.

They may negotiate something as well with the other blocks. The USA will left out in the cold and none of them will bow down to the Mad Clown King.
