I have to tip my hat to the UK prime minister.

I salute him for protecting the best interests of the UK and standing up for Ukraine. With this concept of a trade agreement, he has bought himself a lot of leverage.

His praise of Trump was really funny, and clearly mocking.

It was ridiculous hearing Lutnick claim they were working on this for 25 years when the U.S. basically had free trade with the U.K. until a month ago.
