The US, whom we are regularly told is our great ally, didn't
hold back from imposing 220 percent retaliatory tariffs over
Bombardier.

The US used WW2 to destroy Britain as a world power.

I guess you mean the War Debt.

Bombardier (which, BTW, is a Canadian company),

Bombardier has significant manufacturing in the UK and the
governement's concern is the loss of jobs rather than the loss of
profit or taxes.

is actually all about the US protecting its subsidies to Boeing.

Probably the best thing about the EU was being able to tell the
Americans to **** off, and get away with it. Once we leave, May
will be so far up Trump's arse we won't be able to see her any
more. Not all bad news, then.

I don't think Theresa May will be such a great pal of Trump's. He
will discard her the minute he can't profit from her. Somehow, I
don't expect many trade deals with the US in our favour.
Another remoaner optimist.
