Re: Trade deal - test for the UK government

If a US company takes over a UK company and loses money as a result

Don't worry - just look at the corporate soverignity provisions in the various US trade agreements and this is a part of it - if a US company loses money as the result of a foreign government decision then that US company has the right to take the country to a special court and sue them for all the money they think they have lost..

Still think a US trade deal is a good idea? I can easily a big tobacco or oil company suing the UK because Government policy limits their ability to make money here..
