    UK/US trade deal that cuts tariffs and allows workers to move between the US and UK

    "Theresa May and Donald Trump will this week hold talks over a US-UK trade deal that slashes tariffs and makes it easier for hundreds of thousands of workers to move between the two countries."

    "Sources believe any agreement on tariffs would give Mrs May significant leverage in her negotiations with Brussels and allow her to demand that EU leaders give Britain a good deal." (AtW's comment: no, it won't!)"

    "There are around 230,000 people born in North America aged between 16 and 64 living in Britain. The British population in the USA has been estimated at 700,000.

    “We can grow those numbers,” a senior Government source said."

    Wasn't the idea of Brexit that UK can control it's borders to reduce immigration?

    With all the Australians, you'll hardly notice a few Yanks: "The UK has been told it will have to relax its immigration rules for Australians if it wants a free trade deal with Canberra." Brexit: Australia eyes relaxed UK immigration under trade deal - BBC News

      Well, it makes sense. With more Yanks over here, we'll need more bar staff.

          Yet you'll work in another country suffering from terrorist incidents. How odd.

          Not right now for me, but I wouldn't say no to a 12-month gig in the US at some point.

            Not only will they be relaxing immigration for all the countries they do deals with, they'll probably end up doing a deal with the EU which includes the freedom of movement, but with token controls.

            Switzerland has access to the European single market through a series of bilateral agreements and has skirted voters' demand in a 2014 referendum for outright quotas on foreign workers by instead giving local people first crack at open jobs

              They wouldn't exactly want us looking too hard at Luxembourg's dealings would they?

                Would like to work in the states, not sure I'd like the working environment but always wanted to give it a go.

                  These things will always to the US's advantage with very little given to the other side. I would expect US nationals to be given visa-free access, while the UK will still have to abide by the H1B visa scheme.

                  The US have never given away anything that is not in the US's national interest and I certainly don't expect them to do so now.

                    Look, you people are never happy - May said very clearly that Brexit means Brexit and that she'll get free trade deal with USA quickly, so there!
