The Brexiteer promise of a large and beneficial US free
trade deal is a mirage. First of all
leaving aside President Trump’s empty promises, the US Constitution clearly
gives US Congress, not the President, the main responsibility for trade and
commerce. That means that the US
Congress, including the Democrat controlled House of Representatives, will have
to ratify any trade deals negotiated.
Furthermore Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has warned that her
support of any such deal will depend on a satisfactory resolution of the Irish
border issue.
