Presumably a goodly proportion of the $151b deficit will be something that Trump will seek to diminish when the US negotiates a new trade deal with the UK as and when the UK is able to enter into those negotiations. Could be never under the May deal of course.

What that has to do with Macron (not the EU) seeking to deal with France's traditional undertaxing of a diesel fuel that it considers to be a contributor to climate change is anybody's guess!
