          UK India deal was signed earlier this week.
          UK US deal still has some details to be ironed out and will not make a blind bit of difference to US security as the UK stands by it's allies.
          Most services are not included and although the UK will allow the first 13,000 tonnes of beef in tariff free steroid beef and chlorinated chicken is still excluded: "There will be no weakening of UK food standards on imports, the UK government statement said."

                          Carrots aren't working on the red Americans then!

                          @redstar your knowledge of world affairs is pitiful. When the UK left the EU it had no trade deals with anyone anywhere because all that is handled centrally by the EU for all the member states and following agreed standards about what can be imported and exported. Another problem was that, as it was all done by the EU civil service made up of all the member countries, the UK civil service didn't have many trained or experienced trade negotiators and had to rush to hire some.

                          The then Conservative government approached the USA under Obama for a deal but his priority was, naturally, trade with the much larger EU market so the UK was way down his list of priorities. Pretty much the same response from all the big trading centres so it's been a long slow haul.

                          Talks with India began in January 2022. You can fact check all that whereas you really can't believe Trump news.

                              I copied this from a post here Dec 2019 - Another use for a carrot... :loll:

                              ""According to the Suffolk Gazette, Ipswich Magistrates Court heard Fisher, a self-employed office worker, stripped her clothes off and frolicked through the streets of the village with what prosecutor Steve Walshe described as a “six-inch carrot between her buttocks.”
                              The court heard Fisher’s naked romp through town certainly caught the eye of people enjoying lunch at a pub she passed by. One diner, Royston Beevis, told court the “shapely” Fisher paused at the pub’s front door and wagged her butt which had the orange vegetable wedged in between.
                              Cops soon caught wind of the artist’s antics and arrested her. Fisher’s lawyer, Emily Lloyd, told court the woman she enjoyed a cup or two of sherry before her naked escapades.
                              “She accepts that the carrot was perhaps a step too far,” said Lloyd.
                              Fisher was fined $426 for her outburst. She apologized and promised “to remain dressed in future.”"
