Yet the UK has traditionally been much less protective of its agriculture, and is thus likely after Brexit to pursue a commercial policy that is very similar to that of the EU, anyway. It is therefore difficult to see what the UK would gain from pursuing a national trade policy – especially at a time when the United States, under President Donald Trump, is pursuing policies (such as imposing tariffs on imported steel and aluminum) that show little regard for its smaller trade partners.
Großbritannien hat seine Landwirtschaft traditionell jedoch viel weniger geschützt und wird deshalb nach dem Brexit wohl ohnehin eine sehr ähnliche Handelspolitik verfolgen wie die EU.
