β€œThe US demands on regulation & taxation amount to regulatory subordination,” said Aslak Berg. β€œThat’s not the kind of demand you’d make if you were looking to make a deal β€” it’s what you’d propose if you’re looking for an excuse to impose tariffs.” buff.ly/pqL3tvD

"I think it will cause a certain amount of irritation in Brussels. And it's not because there's a direct conflict between the EU and the UK. It won't jeopardise the relationship between the EU and the UK. But it does set a bad precedent," says Aslak Berg buff.ly/5aUVFGw

Labour’s reset with the EU will fail to deliver a significant boost to economic growth. A fundamental refashioning of the EU-UK relationship would require The Labour Party to think again about freedom of movement. πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ πŸ†•CER insight by Aslak Berg Read here: buff.ly/DxB25iH

The White House wants people in Brussels to be running around with their hair on fire right now after Trump's threat to impose 50% tariffs on the EU in a week unless they make a major trade capitulation. But I am not sensing panic here. (Featuring the wisdom of Aslak Berg)

Greece, Spain are promising locations to let Europes energy-intensive industries migrate. Abundant energy, lower labour costs. Their regions are already showing strong growth in intra-EU goods exports. Germany should let some of its steel and chemical industry go there. 1/

US trade has the structural problem of authoritarian regimes, of only one decision-maker that other countries, his own Cabinet, advisors etc compete to influence. It is impossible to tell if the UK-US trade agreement will be implemented. Maybe. politico.eu/article/donald…
