Remind me how President Trump's focus on the US trade deficit with China went?

Also a single market is not in fact an FTA (that will be Customs union).

I know its tempting to run away from a world that doesn't give you what you want, but not particularly mature. https://twitter.com/afneil/status/1331718799037493250
This. And I'm afraid it does matter, because no country can afford petulance and ignorance to be national policy. https://twitter.com/jdportes/status/1331869979097133057
It is notable how little trade has been mentioned around the spending review. A government that seems to know little of how global trade works, in part due to four years of listening to those who invented their own worlds to claim no economic cost to their preferred hard Brexit.
When the Chancellor peddles nonsense like this you should be worried. The second largest trade relationship in the world, about to be subject to the biggest rise in trade barriers since 1945, which could be reduced by a deal, and this is what he says. https://twitter.com/CoppetainPU/status/1331876830907871233
The Chancellor is not making it too much of a secret that he is putting his own leadership aspiration above the economy of the country. I suspect this isn't going to end well.
