Barriers And benefits
Some of the Uk best reasons for trade is its skilled workforce alongside its culturally diverse population allowing for the manufacture and selling of large amounts of well crafted and exotic goods that many different peoples will want. This coupled alongside its clearly defined worker protections laws mean that there will be no trouble or scandals or anything of the sort over mistreatment of workers or at least the chance of which is much slower.
The only major barrier to trading with the United Kingdom is its high tariffs policy which makes up a large portion of revenue but does protect British jobs.
