> This was not negotiated as a friendly trade deal as done with Canada, US etc. It was clear they were doing something the EU doesn't want to make an example off. Tensions from both sides. No, Canada and the US are literally an ocean away. The UK is so close you can swim there. The EU made it clear that a it makes no sense to have the same deal as a partner that is on the other side of the world than it does to have with a partner that is so close and have other interests and conflicts to discuss. All the deals I used as examples are better deals than the Canada and US deals they were all offered and rejected by the UK.
