There is no doubt the Trump was very vocal about being very lucrative for the UK on post-brexit trade deals, but not really doing much than talk about it. With the clock ticking down and a new president coming in who is VERY supportive of the Good Friday agreement, does this mean that the "No Deal, No Problem" bluster might change from number 10?
I have no doubt that the USA will still maintain a good working relationship with the UK, though I do feel they will be less generous than originally hoped if we take risks with the deal over the Irish Sea.
Interesting times ahead. [Post edited 7 Nov 2020 19:35]

I've said it before on here but my theory is that the EU will "cave" on the red-line of fishing, allowing Boris to save face and make it look like they negotiated a tough deal, while signing up to everything else the EU wants |  | | |

They're long-term commitments that were more likely to be pulled by unilateralist Trump. I'd be amazed if anything happened to them | | | |

The EU won’t “cave in” on anything.
Biden has strong Irish links. He won’t condone anything which might damage the GFA. |  |

I wasn't aware that the US Military bases were part of the post-brexit deal. | |

sorry, I wasn't clear clear enough. Cave was in quotes because I think fishing is an artificial red-line the UK has drawn, because its not really a big deal. Its something the EU can compromise on but the British press love. Neither side really cares about it in the grand scheme, but it lets Boris look as though he's negotiated a tough deal, while signing up to everything else the EU insists on. | | | |

Trump was only ever interested in a trade deal to benefit the US. Biden will be the same, except he may be more trustworthy with what is agreed. However, our own Government has stated it will not abide by international law which means they cannot be trusted on any trade deal they do sign.
The mess is of our own making and whether Biden or Trump, it makes little difference. It is our own Government who will fail to look after the interests of the citizens. |  |

I wonder how much their impact has changed over the Trump regime. I also wonder whether Harry Dunne's family are now more likely to see justice done. | |

I see what you mean - sorry if I missed that I initially.
Here’s a link from an Irish perspective. I think overall Biden would be seen as good for Ireland.

Spot on. Trump was only ever interested in something that benefitted the US and particularly himself. He didn’t go out of his way to protect businesses in this country when he slapped tariffs on the EUs exports to the US, including the Scotch industry that lost 25% of its business overnight.
Biden will reduce tariffs which will benefit this country’s exports but there will be no ‘deal’. Biden is catholic Irish/American with strong links to Irish republicanism so is automatically hostile, as many Americans are.
But there is no trade agreement now yet the US is still our largest trade partner by country. That will remain even after village idiot Johnson caves in to the EU. That debacle, like his grotesque handling of C-19, is of his own making. Shame The ordinary people here will have to pay for it for decades to come. [Post edited 7 Nov 2020 22:36]

As long as people start asking the right questions it is a step in the right direction. I personally believe Biden will add a different layer of consideration into the mix and think that the Trump win might have just saved us from the most damaging possible scenario. | |

They’ll be looking after the interests of the few they want to, it’s like turning the clock back 150 years, that’s always been the plan. |  | | |
