Britain to seek Canada-style free trade deal with EU

The first light of dawn breaks looking towards the Palace of Westminster with British Union flags flying in London, Saturday, Feb. 1, 2020. LONDON -- Two days after Brexit, British officials pushed the European Union on Sunday for a Canada-style free trade arrangement as British Prime Minister Boris Johnson geared up for a key speech to spell out his government's negotiating stance.

EU officials, despite offering friendly words to the British public over the weekend after the divorce that took effect Friday night, warn that Canada only achieved largely tariff-free trade status by bringing many of its rules into line with EU regulations. EU officials fear that the U.K. could water down its environment or health and safety precautions, undermining EU businesses.

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar on Sunday urged Johnson's Conservative government not to follow the mistakes of his predecessor by establishing "rigid red lines" that make it much more difficult to reach an agreement. Britain will also start reaching out to other countries about new trade arrangements now that it is out of the EU, even though EU rules remain in effect during an 11-month transition period. Raab plans trips to Japan and Australia this week to ramp up this effort.

Go for it, the European Economic Zone needs the British business.

It took over three years for Britain to leave, round two.

Which is all the EU should be to begin with, a trading block of sovereign nations...unless you believe in autocracy from Brussels...

Bonne chance!

So like USMCA..? The one that POTUS pushed for...

Ok. What business do we do with them anyway?
