Axios: “The U.S. had a trade surplus with the U.K. of nearly $12 billion in 2024. It’s of the few major countries with which the U.S. doesn’t run a deficit.”

Paul Krugman: “But back to that UK ‘deal.’ Nobody knows what will eventually come out of it, but we can be sure of one thing: It won’t lead to any significant opening of the British market to U.S. goods. Why? Because that market was already wide open before Trump stomped in.”
