    1. Don’t tell me… some sort of long game tactic to isolate the Falklands from UK influence and ultimately establish a US base on the Falklands?

      The method used to calculate this is hilarious. It was always going to throw up anomalies. A deficit isn’t s bad thing.

      For example, Lesotho who have been bummed by this, they sell diamonds and other raw material to USA. It’s high price. In return they buy bugger all… and nobody cares. If Coca Cola or Microsoft sell a few bits to Lesotho, it’s a win. No one in america is thinking Lesotho is the problem.

      However, in trump world that’s a 50% tariff which is insane. They are better off saying cheerio and giving Russia or China a call to take over the order book

      Does Trump think the Falklands belong to Argentina and that this is punishing the Argentinian government? I can see that being the reason Trump thinks this is going to have any impact.

      I am anxious about Trump supporting Argentina’s claim to the Falklands. Oh well, at least we have nuclear weapons. If he can wank off Putin over it then he can wank Kier as well.

      to think not so long ago farage supporters and media tried to force brits to bend the knee to the unhinged orange emperor
