First, the view from Britain:
Woody Johnson (US Ambassador to St. James Court), who is a close friend of the US president, said every area of the UK economy would be up for discussion when the two sides brokered a trade deal.Which is sort of like saying Britain will do a trade deal with America if Medicare is on the table.
Asked if the NHS was likely to form part of trade negotiations, Johnson told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show: “I think the entire economy, in a trade deal, all things that are traded would be on the table.” Asked if that specifically meant healthcare, he said: “I would think so.”
Oops.a telling moment -- Trump's (lack of) response to a policy-related question about the National Health Service (NHS) suggests he's not really familiar with what it is pic.twitter.com/KL0DlqTXmn— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) June 4, 2019
Theresa May stood next to @realDonaldTrump as he said the NHS will be "on the table" in a US trade deal. And that’s what Tory leadership contenders and Farage are lining up for the No Deal disaster capitalism plans they have.— Jeremy Corbyn (@jeremycorbyn) June 4, 2019
They all need to understand: our NHS is not for sale.
And why is this important?
Besides, there's that press conference:Nigel Farage told me before the European Parliament elections that it was a Downing Street "red line" that this should NOT happen https://t.co/dcukWzWbdj— Christopher Hope📝 (@christopherhope) June 4, 2019
Trump literally said in his press conference that the NHS is ‘on the table’ in a trade deal with the US— Andrew Adonis (@Andrew_Adonis) June 4, 2019
He just killed off Brexit
A bull in a china shop would do less damage than our President.
