A misleading statement that mixes up two different things. The UK, as an EU Member State, applies EU free trade agreements with dozens of countries, and EU preferences for developing countries. The implication that trade between UK/EU would be unaffected if no deal is nonsense.
Here's the original tweet, for those blocked by Redwood. The issue isn't whether you can trade without a free trade agreement, but whether you can trade *as much* without one. Only a charlatan would seek to blur this crucial distinction. 
Also: there are no agreed treaties with the EU on aviation and road haulage in the event of no deal Brexit. These are unilateral, time limited, EU measures. Again Redwood lacks the honesty to admit that tariffs and non-tariff barriers would be imposed.
Redwood's reference to China and the US is also misleading. Those countries also have free trade agreements, as @CoppetainPU points out.
