Not a big fan of sugar's but he's usually right tbh…
That’s how this “trade war” ends you don’t fight back cuz ain’t nothing to fight about
Thought the world 'import' all the tech stuff from the US? eg. Google Services, Apple Services, Netflix, Amazon stuff. Lots of subscriptions and services US export to the world, no?
🇨🇭 Switzerland: We're fine
🇬🇧 G.B.: 😱
What does America import from Great Britain?
(We TOLD YOU, SCOTLAND, you should have e voted for independence!🥃🥃🥃)
The Levi jeans are no longer made in USA.
UK is weak and has no cards. Should be begging for mercy, be honest with yourself put pride aside for the citizens!
They don’t pay taxes over here to start with .
military protection is what EU importing from the US.
Just turn a blind eye on illegal streaming. Quite simple.
The main thing we've imported for nearly a century from America is CULTURE.
Not sure if you can tariff it very effectively but we CAN turn our eyes and ears in a different direction.
Cultural hegemony is their power base over here.
You want to sell all your products over here but you impose tariffs on US goods? This is not fair trade.
We import a huge amount of energy in the form of LNG. We could hit that if we extracted our own shale gas!
We're Europeans but in the UK we've got so many rules going on…….I ❤ Alan Sugars line "That doesn't add up to a row of beans"
Andrew is so out of touch in this interview
I cant remember the last thing l bought that was made in America !
Fashion movies and tech thats all Americans got to trade.
How many US based companies don't pay taxes here? You could and it should really be if you do business in a country? You pay taxes ok. I would argue the more countries the less % as that would incentive them to do business in as many as possible therefore? Creating jobs in every country! Less unemployment all round not a bad idea is it?

Trump has lined his own pockets.
The UK could gain some cash by selling some of its nearly 800 billion of USA debt.
Whisky is a massive export to America do the same back with such large tariffs !!
spot on with harleys…. as a biker i know the popularity of them has fell off the face of the earth, and anyone that does buy one wants an older one that isn't subject to so many environmental modifications.
And what are we exporting? It's a more complex problem than what we import/export to and from America. Far to complex for a simple "businessman" like Sickly Sugar here to understand
Main one is iPhones. Amazon, digital and tech
