To answer questions about trade with data (rather than pulling figures out ofโฆletโs say thin air), Iโve put together a thread on the facts (trade for 2017; goods only*):
How much UK trade is: 1. โOn WTO RULESโ? 2. On WTO rules ALONE? 3. On WTO TARIFFS?
4. Whatโre the details?
1. How much UK trade is โon WTO RULES"?
Short answer: All of it
UK is WTO member
All trade with other members is bound by WTO rules
They are basic rules of trade, but, through EU, we have trade deals/arrangements with ALL WTO members & some non-members that go beyond basic level
