Brexit: Japan trade deal will not be ready by deadline

The UK won't be able to roll over an EU trade deal with Japan in time for a no-deal Brexit, Trade Secretary Liam Fox has said.

It was one of the most important EU trade deals the UK hoped to replicate ahead of the 29 March withdrawal date.
The trade department also said it would not be able to roll over the EU's customs union deal with Turkey on time.

In 2017, Mr Fox said the UK would be able to replicate 40 EU free trade deals by Brexit day.

Oh dear, big tariffs on all the cars, electronics, and machinery.

What a shame, their goods will be left on the shelves...and we will buy from South Korea instead.

It's a good job the UK holds all the cards.

The Sputh Korean FTA rollover is in serious doubt of being ready in time also.

The Sputh Korean FTA rollover is in serious doubt of being ready in time also.

Business Secretary Greg Clark said the U.K. isn’t likely to reach agreements with Japan and South Korea to roll over existing trade deals before Britain’s scheduled departure from the European Union on March 29.

Britain benefits from about 40 free-trade agreements with 70 nations through its EU membership, and it’s been seeking to extend them after Brexit. Combined, they account for 11 percent of U.K. trade.

This can't be true. The government said they would be ready one second after 29 March.

And you thought that implied 2019? Gullible or what!
