Peter Mandelson acknowledges Brexit's trade freedom as Trump's tariffs rock the EU boat.
A crucial Brexit benefit emerges. Mandelson, a firm Remainer, concedes the UK gains trade flexibility with the US, unattainable within the EU. While acknowledging losses from Brexit, he highlights this trade potential.
Simultaneously, Trump slams a 30% tariff on EU goods. Britain dodges this trade war bullet, but concerns over increasing steel tariffs loom. Ursula von der Leyen warns these tariffs threaten transatlantic supply chains, hinting at EU countermeasures.
Brexit's unexpected gains? Probably!
