Economically, the UK needs the US more than we need them

At a joint press conference Friday, British Prime Minister Theresa May said she and President Trump discussed “future economic cooperation and trade. … We are discussing how we can establish a trade agreement, take forward immediate high-level talks, lay the groundwork for a U.K.-U.S. trade agreement, and identify the practical steps we can take now.”

When the Trump administration works toward a trade agreement with the U.K. (which it should), it should remember the U.K. needs the U.S. more than the U.S. needs the U.K. The British economy is more dependent on trade with the U.S. than vice versa.
