Not at all.

As regards cars etc, we are not going to being importing vast numbers of private cars or commercial vehicles from The USA, they are not fuel efficient.
India has said sod off and Japan has said wait and see, we will not do a deal with you until we know what you agree with the EU.
Both Kia and Hyundai cars manufactured in the EU will now be subject to 10% Tax.
THE UK CONTROLS ITS TARRIFFS !!!!!!!!
Do you not get this yet ??????? There are tarrifs on cars from outside the EU now - on Fords etc. They are the most popular make of car in the UK. We also make Nissans, Toyota, Mini etc here in the UK. The tariffs would make German cars more expensive, we would buy less German cars and shaft Merkels economy. Brilliant business idea, Swimmy.
Currently the tarrif on EU cars into the USA is about 2.5% but the USA coming into the EU is about 10%. If the UK put a 10% tariff on cars, EU cars would be 7.5% more and USA cars would be the same price.
Fords are fuel efficient - go take a look. Your comparing them to the lies VW told about their emissions in the USA.
Japan is waiting to strike a better deal with the UK than it has with the EU by the way.
