UK's hopes for post-Brexit trade deal an illusion ? Donald Tusk

Quote:

Theresa May?s reported agreement with her cabinet on a future trading relationship with the EU has been criticised as based on ?pure illusion? by the European council president, Donald Tusk, as frustration with the UK erupted in Brussels.

Reports that May?s inner cabinet had agreed on a policy of ?managed divergence? during eight hours of talks at an awayday in Chequers were met with incredulity by EU leaders.

The best thing for Europe and the UK is a frictionless trade deal. However, that's the worse deal for the EU bureaucrats. It makes exiting the EU more attractive to countries and destroys the institution that is on its way to ruling Europe from the offices in Brussels.

A trade barrier will see Europe lose more jobs and money than the UK. Estimates have put the cost of Brexit at 1 million jobs. Return 1 million EU workers to their homeland and that covers the problem. Then Europe will have even more unemployed added to the 1 million workers made unemployed there.

The UK will slowly start trading with other countries and start producing more at home. But Europe will suffer the most.

That doesn't worry Tusk, he wants to keep his job and see his dream of centralised power.
