00:00Just let me check then. So what does the U.K. need to offer the U.S. in order to either bring that 10 percent down or eliminate it
00:06altogether. So complicated. It's very very simple. The goods of each trading partner should be handled and should be taxed
00:15should be tariff at commensurate rates. There should be parity. So if you don't discriminate against U.S. goods then the other
00:24partner in this case the U.K. will not have their products discriminated against. It's very it's it's very very simple. A
00:30kindergarten should be able to get that. So we need to get rid of VAT on the U.S. goods that we sell here.
00:37There should not be any kind of pejorative handling negative handling of U.S. goods if they do not wish to be reflected in the
00:45way that U.K. goods are handled. It's like the most simple equation do unto others as you would wish to have done unto
00:52yourself. I think I read that somewhere in a very important book.
