Fair play to Bonnie Greer standing up for Ireland

Can we take her promise that any breach of the GFA will mean no
trade deal between america and britain? Trump will have other ideas,

Sure he will. And here’s the thing: remember the much vaunted USMCA trade agreement that is to replace NAFTA?

Well Trump signed that last November. Current estimates suggest that it will eventually get to Congress by June 2020 for ratification. Assuming there is no objection it could take effect in early 2021.

Trump claims that a UK-US trade deal will be agreed the day after Brexit.

If the UK leaves without a deal then the ways and means committee in congress which is currently chaired by Richard Neal who is the co-chair of the friends of Ireland group in Congress will refuse to ratify it. So there will be no trade deal: period.

Some banter between Boris and Trump I say


They should kick off with a best haircut competition


Why is it that most of the great leaders have funny hair?


Hmmm

Why?

Greer is correct in her assertion that the USA will not allow the GFA to be jeopardized. The is just too much clout by the very powerful Irish American lobby in Washington and not even Trump can derail that.

The audience of Brexiteers at the Question Time programme were stunned into a deathly silence after Bonnie Greer made her very articulate points.

Keep the terrorists on the border on side what ever the cost. That seems to be the purpose of the GFA or am I wrong.
