We'll block trade deal if Brexit imperils open Irish border, say US politicians

Any future US-UK trade deal would almost certainly be blocked by the US Congress if Brexit affects the Irish border and jeopardises peace in Northern Ireland, congressional leaders and diplomats have warned.

Boris Johnson has presented a trade deal with the US as a way of offsetting the economic costs of leaving the EU, and Donald Trump promised the two countries could strike “a very substantial trade agreement” that would increase trade “four or five times”.

Trump, however, would not be able to push an agreement through a hostile Congress, where there would be strong bipartisan opposition to any UK trade deal in the event of a threat to the 1998 Good Friday agreement, and to the open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic.

Loving the fact that Boris is refusing to travel to European capitals unless there is any sign of movement. May was far too ready to rush off to Brussels like a good little lapdog and be humiliated regardless.

It isn't, if Obama could singlehandedly sneak in TPP and Trump could singlehandedly kill TPP, what difficulty could a trade deal with a single, long standing ally pose?

... none

this limp wristed shot across the bow is nothing more than a bluff by a special interest group

You allude to the Trade Promotion Act, which allows the President of the USA to negotiate fast track trade deals.

Despite what you think, it still requires approval by Congress. Which is what this congressmen refers to. If Congress feel that the deal undermines the border question they will vote no.

No I allude to what we witnessed play out with TPP. Congress forced to vote on it without even reading it or being allowed to know the detail.

Congress objected, made f-all difference, they were Obama's bitch.

Congress is consistent of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

House of Representatives is currently a Democratic majority.
The Senate has a Republican majority.

I think you are the naive one since your post seems to show you don't know the difference between what is termed as Congress and its constituent bodies.

They could, they just voted not to.

Legislation regarding the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal created unlikely alliances on Capitol Hill. President Barack Obama (D) and two of his longtime opponents and critics, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and former Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio), worked together to convince Congress that the TPP was a strong trade deal that would help American workers.

Congress voted on the subject 10 times in approval thereof.

Lol. Obama didn’t have the IRA to deal with. If you think the trade deal is the issue with the backstop, you are sorely mistaken.
