26 Countries Now Seeking UK Trade Deals

The above map shows all the countries in which government officials or prominent business figures have declared a desire to secure a post-Brexit trade deal with Britain. Out of the 10 largest economies in the world, just two (France and Italy) have not yet made moves for a deal. Every continent on earth is represented, with 26 countries already signalling their intentions:

Australia
Argentina
Bolivia
Brazil
Canada
Chile
China
Colombia
Ecuador
Germany
Ghana
Iceland
India
Ireland
Japan
Kenya
Korea
Mexico
New Zealand
Pakistan
Paraguay
Peru
Suriname
Switzerland
United States
Uruguay
Venezuela

The total GDP of all of these countries is nearly $50 trillion dollars – 67% of global GDP. In comparison, the EU’s GDP of $16 trillion equates to just 22%. Britain is open for business and Guido will be updating this map over the coming weeks and months. Over to you, Dr Fox…

We're so isolated outside the gulag.

It also puts to bed something I keep hearing from the likes of Nick Clegg etc, that we have to accept free movement for access to Single Market. Absolute rubbish. Canada does not have supremacy over our courts and free movement with us in order to trade with us. Give it up Nick.

Anyways always nice to hear good news, the list is sure to only grow in size.

Thoughts?

You're missing the point completely and it shows your lack of knowledge and understanding of this even after the vote.

Of course the UK will try and do trade deals with other countries, it will be stupid not to start. However each trade deal with take several years - many will take 8-10 years easily. We may not get as good of a deal as we are one country whereas Europe was a whole continent so it had a stronger bargaining power (may be this concept is new to you, or that is how you act by being so ignorant).

Report when we actually sign a trade deal, you know, in like 5+ years.

PS: Pound continues to plummet as our import prices continues to rise. Great for a country which imports pretty much everything you see on the shelves >.>

Just because the EU takes a ridiculous 8 years to sign FTAs doesn't mean we will.

Switzerland signed an FTA with China in like 3 years. We've been through all this.

Yeah which is why the EU's trade deals were so poor compared to the likes of Switzerland's in terms of how many £billions they were worth. You talk of ignorance, but we've been through this for months and months and the "influence inside" argument was a load of baloney.

Report when we actually sign a trade deal, you know, in like 5+ years.

Why not report and rejoice in the good news that we're now able to sign trade deals with countries the EU utterly failed to sign any with?

Most of what the country consumes is produced in this country. Known as the "real economy". It's a common mistake to think that this country produces nothing when it's something like the 6th largest manufacturer in the world and the world's largest financial centre (London) is here.
