We have a huge satellite parts industry (huge gdp wise) we also sell arms tech. Mainly armor for assets. But on the more consumer level. Spirits and intellectual properties music chip design rf techs etc.
We import way more then we sell on a per capita basis. But trump seems to do his maths on a $ for $ basis where any lower population nation will look like they don’t buy as much from the US as they sell. Hence why canda is also in the tarrif attacks.
It sounds like everything that we sell to the US would sell well in the EU in the coming years, what with Germany stepping up military spending, and alternatives to Starlink getting pushed hard.
For all the world, this looks like Starmer desperately not wanting to have to publicly say, “Brexit kneecapped the UK and we need closer ties with Europe ASAFP”.
But the nation is not readdy to admit it yet. The numbers are still close to 50% either way. And its not just tory voters that support it.
Unfortunatly the crap " no voters failed to back us up" still appelase to far to many brexiters
So yep getting in with the EU is our only option. But any gov fighting for it will drag us back into split parliments that cant agree on anything trade related.
