After the vote and during Trump's election campaign we were told that far from being at the back of the queue for a trade deal we would be at the front. Farage in particular made this claim.
Now we learn (HERE) and (HERE) that the man appointed by Trump to be his trade secretary, Wilbur Ross, made a speech just after the brexit vote where he urged other countries to take this "God given opportunity" to take a slice of Britain's financial industry which he said would inevitably relocate.
Farage, like others in the brexit press, seems to think the world owes us something and will be bound to give us a good deal. No. They will look after their own interests and will do the dirty on us at any and every opportunity. We will soon see what international friendships mean.
