    Further tariff of 80% imposed on import of C-Series

    The special relationship that keeps on giving. When Trump said we'll get a great deal. The best deal. You'll just have to wait and see... was this a special deal on Vaseline?

    Brexiters take a long hard sniff. Our free trade deal with the EU and connected markets has never looked sweeter right now.


    The US Department of Commerce has again ruled against aerospace firm Bombardier in its dispute with rival Boeing.

    A further tariff of 80% has been imposed on the import of Bombardier's C-Series jet to the US for alleged below-cost selling.

    This is on top of an earlier tariff of 220% which related to subsidies Bombardier got from Canada and the UK.

    There have been warnings that the import tariffs could threaten Bombardier jobs in Belfast.
    About 1,000 jobs are linked to the C-Series, the wings of which are made at a purpose-built £520m factory in the city.

    Not sure why we need a trade deal with the USA.

      Exactly; all we need to do is to close the seaports and airports.
      Divide the countryside into strip-farms and the populous can be peasants scratching a living off the royal estates.
      We will all be free from foreign interference. Apart from being governed by a mad, degenerative inbred royal family from Germany.

        A UK-USA trade deal would be a great deal.

        For the USA.

          Except, we outsourced the actual governing business to you lot in the 17th century.

            True, anyone who think's we'll get anything resembling a fair trade deal with them must be nuts.

              North Korea?

              We can send people to work in Germany daily for foreign currency.

                  Brillo only see black and white so would be a good enforcer.

                  MF is full of tulip so would do the dealing.
