The Walloons in Belgium appear to have scuttled the Canada Europe trade deal. If Europe cannot make a trade deal with a country like Canada with it's very European values and bending over backwards to get this deal done, how is it to get any deals done with Britain, a much larger trade partner?
This deal was supposed to be the blueprint for a US Europe deal. Doubt that will happen now. Protectionist Trump, capitalist free trader Republicans or wishy washy Democrats.
What are the details of this trade deal? What will be traded for free or at a low duty, and in which direction(s) do they flow? I am also curious as to whether national resources and/or strong industries would continue to protected via high duties, or are they done away with in the name of free trade. I don't know much about Canada-european but since you are there and are well versed in this trade deal I'd like to hear your take.
