We can't insist the EU trades with us under terms which we

We can.

In terms of our imports.

We can set what terms we like.

Not under the WTO rules Britain can't.

If we wanted to be spiteful we could resuce imports from the EU to a
trickle ad buy suff from elsewhere.

No WTO member can do that under the WTO rules.

The EU does.

No it does not. ALL it can do is have very high tariffs that
apply to all imports in that category and even then, some
choose to pay the tariff anyway to import what they want.
