The “Trade Barriers” in question are food safety regulations and taxation to the tune of 2% on digital services from massive US tech giants - tech giants that make billions from UK consumers anyway.
This is a blatant shakedown.

US puts £31bn tech ‘prosperity deal’ with Britain on ice.
Trump doesn't honour agreements. It's about dominance.
Demands that UK ends digital services tax on US tech companies and it's food safety rules which bar certain US agricultural products.
Say NO to Trump slavery. Better off joining the EU

This is the best analysis I’ve read about Trump’s alignment with Putin, and the future for Ukraine and Europe
And it accords with my optimism. On the ground, Ukraine and Europe can resist the globalist oligarchs

Spot on. That's why it was so disgusting and cynical of the Leave campaigns in the UK to use the symbols and evocations of WWII in their campaigning.
The EU was created in by people who lived through WWII and saw political and economic integration as a means to bringing peace and stability to the continent.
It is being opposed by Putin, Musk and the others who support Neo Nazis in Europe.
