How Does Brexit Affect the United States? - Explaining Brexit

Vote on the next country we cover: / tldrnewsuk
Brexit is going to have a major impact on the UK and EU relationship, but that doesn't mean it won't affect other countries too. In this video, we discuss the ways in which Brexit will affect the United States, the trade deals they could form with the UK post Brexit and what US leaders think of the whole thing.

Freedom of movement between the UK and US? Not even Canada has it. Do you really think you can have a better deal that Canada? They are the best of neighbours and even they have to follow immigration laws, there are special easier laws for Canadians and vice versa, but it's not freedom of movement.

Americans don't need a passport to enter Canada. Ironically, they need a passport to get back into the U.S. As you say, free movement is a non-starter, regardless of the Cato Institute's wish list.

The US and Canada (along with Mexico) does have a Freedom of Movement deal as part of NAFTA. It only applies to short term professional visas, not to permanent migration.

[@h3akalee]

The reason USA and Canada don't have free movement is because Canada is under globalist influence and is currently being flooded with third world trash.

Depends on the type of Brexit. May's deal won't affect them that much, but a hard brexit would be a bonanza for them., especially if some of the more loony libertarians get their way and zero rate all our import tariffs. Britain would then be the only country on earth without any trade deals at all, and would have to go around cap in hand to get something, anything signed up.

@@luxembourger Ah, but the issue is when there are no regulations for country of origin or method of production, and an unscrupulous seller puts 'Parma Ham' on grocery shelves even though it is not produced in Parma, nor in the same way as the real thing, and you end up buying a subpar product. If you think that this is farfetched, it is literally happening with Wagyu beef. If you want to eat traditional Wagyu or Kobe beef outside of Japan, you are very likely not eating an authentic product because there is no strict requirement for sellers to be truthful about it. I don't think that the US wants this regulation gone so they can make Parma Ham that is just as good as the real thing; they want to sell their cheap ham at a markup playing on name recognition, which the regulation prevents.

[@puschelhornchen9484]

Imagine a butcher from Parma, Italy who migrated to the US and continues with the receipts he always used to make ham, meat and so on. The regulation on geographical origin is not to protect smaller craftshop buisness per se, it mostly helps middle to big size companies who have reached a certain industrial scale and marketing power to sell their products on a larger than regional scale. I think also you can resort to "in the style of" labeling which of course can be seen as disadvantageous.

Even Berlin was expensive compared to when I last went in 2015. If its this stark for mere consumers buying abroad, I can only think of the woes of commercial trade and production are currently having. The future looks a little bleak in that regard. Guess the only upside is that the lower value of GBP will increase tourism to London / places of interest

[@octaviuswhelkstall4661]

All the other countries in Europe, except Portugal and Switzerland, have recent experience of being occupied by a foreign power, who made their laws for them, and governed them. This is not the case in the UK - the last occupying force was in 1066, nearly a thousand years ago. So we have become used to governing ourselves. Many of those occupied countries did not seem to mind too much: More than one produced a government prepared to collude with the occupiers, and even over-enact some of the draconian laws their occupiers produced - reference Jewish persecution in France and Holland. The British have decided after a democratic vote that they do not like being governed from Brussels by unelected officials that they cannot remove. They do not like having to observe laws that are put in place for the benefit of other countries to the detriment of their own. They wish to exclude from the country murderers, rapists, beggars, welfare scroungers, drug dealers and anybody else who comes to victimise UK citizens. But they are not allowed to do so. Furthermore, they have to provide houses for these predators, pay them benefits, and welcome as many of their family as they choose to bring in. And they can't deport them, because they are EU citizens. If the US was governed from Bolivia or any other country, by unknown and unelected officials, if it was unable to deport undesirables, if it was forced by law to welcome, pay for and keep them indefinitely regardless of their willingness to work, it would be in the same position as the UK. By the way, Bolivia would be able to decide whether you were allowed to have matches, how powerful your vacuum cleaners are, and any other law they could dream up. British people will no longer stand for it. I doubt that Americans would stand for it in the first place. But if you think it is a good idea, suggest it to your Congressman..

My parents take umbrage at the fact that I have struggled so much while EU immigrants are able to come here freely. They believe that Brexit will enable the UK to strengthen their relationship with Britain's 'traditional' allies and treat Commonwealth countries like Aus 'more fairly'. I believe that Britain's relationship with Aus and the rest of the Commonwealth is not going to change at all, and it will continue to be as ceremonial (ie. lacking in any actual, beneficial substance for Commonwealth citizens) as it has been for decades. I voted (one thing I am allowed to do as a Commonwealth citizen) Remain, because I believe remaining is better for the UK as a whole.

India and the EU have been negotiating an FTA with the EU since 2007. The main obstacle in the process have been the UK. It is estimated that if the UK leaves the EU then the EU-India FTA is signed very soon after. Likely even April 2019. India which overtook the UK in 2018 as the 5th largest economy is unlikely to ever be willing to make a comprehensive trade deal with a UK outside of the EU.

Chlorinated chicken or whatever isn’t a problem my friend, it needn’t be an regulation issue. Let people be free, let the customers decide for themselves. If your consumers really demand country of origin labeling then they won’t buy unlabeled products.

[@miguelsilva9118]

Sure. And if people get ill, or even die, who cares? They made a choice. Live with it (or don't).

[@BobWidlefish]

*@Miguel Silva* good point, let’s ban alcohol and skydiving and driving too. It’s all far too risky. If people get hurt they can sue whomever hurt them. No special regulations are needed to deal with this problem.

[@miguelsilva9118]

@@BobWidlefish Cool. How much is the resurrection treatment? I guess dead people can sue for that amount.

[@BobWidlefish]

*@@miguelsilva9118 * the families of the dead can sue. In general businesses which kill their customers don't stay in business. The life expectancy in virtually all western countries is at or near the longest it's ever been. And many millions of those people are eating the things you're so terrified of. Clearly you're exaggerating the risks. If we take your way of thinking seriously we have to ban cars and alcohol and countless other things. The government is not your mom or your dad. The government doesn't have a legitimate role to protect you from yourself. You're expected to make your own choices and take personal responsibility for them, like an adult. Pretending the sky is going to fall if an EU regulation lapses such that part of the US food supply makes it to the UK is just silly and you know it. It's a trivial issue of no significant consequence, and even if it were a problem that problem is easily solved by existing methods to redress grievances resulting from actual harm: tort law.

When you discuss what the other commonwealth countries want out of Brexit, could you briefly look at the CANZUK idea that's floating around - the idea of a free trade, free movement area between Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the UK? Thanks.

[@dookdawg214]

@@Khasidon Russia is a fairly small economy and doesn't wield much power. However, they are very active in their divide-and-conquer strategy, and this strategy has been paying dividends. It's hard to quantify how much, but Russian propoganda certainly did play a role in getting Trump elected. And, albeit to a lesser extent, it had an influence on Brexit. Stupid toothless Brexiters don't even realize it, but they are the useful idiots playing right into the hands of Putin. It's really a shame because, with all of the EU's problems, member states should be working together to fix them, not trying to tear down the establishment.

@@supercunthunt7756 yeah are important market but there is no proviledge relationship between them, so i don't see China and the UK reach any deal soon, nor have some kind of special relationship one to the other.

The UK will no longer have the clout that it had when it was in the EU when negotiating trade deals with larger countries or trading blocs so will always be less well off of these trade deals.

The Parma ham is actually a very bad thing. In practice truckloads of animals get transported to be processed in or close to Parma. Then the Ham is redistributed again with the label. There is no advantage in the butcher being located there. It only increases greenhouse gasses by logistics and increases the strain on livestock. Champagne is another matter. Because taste in wine is determined by the soil and the climate. Both are depending on the location. For sparkling white wines there more well known alternatives. As example Italy has Prosecco which is produced 200km north of Venice.

[@terenfro1975]

The UK needs to take on the role of Venice and have a free trade agreement with the US and Canada. They could then hold this over the EU as an easy shopping supply for Europe. After all, the US and Canada have more in common with the UK than the UK and Germany. As well as the US doesn’t want to press our laws on the English like the EU does. We understand the wall. Good walls make for good neighbors.

How will Brexit affect Caricom (Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados, Guyana, Bahamas, etc)?

[@thekirk884]

I would love to see a strong UK-US trade deal. It could help both countries and massively soften the blow of brexit. While I doubt free movement will ever be a thing, I would hope that President Trump and PM May will be able to work on a deal that allows for goods and services to be exchanged. The US is the world’s largest economy, larger than that of the EU. So a deal between the two would definitely be a plus to both sides.
