Recent polling indicates a strong preference among British voters for prioritizing trade with the European Union over the United States. A survey conducted by YouGov reveals that 57% of Britons favor closer trading ties with the EU, a 4% increase since January, while only 16% prefer the US, reflecting a 5% decline. This sentiment is echoed by various commentators who highlight the UK's greater trade volume with the EU and the desire for deeper ties, especially in light of perceived instability in the US. The discussions suggest that a shift towards the EU could potentially jeopardize any existing trade agreements with the US.
