That is a lot to take in. Its not as if there is a reasonable trade partner to take the EU's place either. The US just doesn't export a lot nor do we do it well. China is a possibility, but food exports could be problematic.

China is far away. EU is close. Out of all the first world trade partners we would like, the vast majority is in the EU.

That was a good listen. Sounds like a Brexit plan is desperately needed. If the hang up is on quota of goods the plan should include a proposal to have a quota reasonable for the UK's size. 

 

I imagine if the quota were reasonable you would have the US on board quickly as Donald Trump is pretty anti-EU and pro-trade. Then the others would follow. I may be making this too simple.
