OCO Global’s Executive Chairman, Mark O’Connell, shares his perspective with the Belfast Telegraph on the recently announced US-EU trade deal. He characterises the agreement as a last-minute compromise that may have prevented a trade war but ultimately leaves Europe – and especially Ireland and Northern Ireland – in a weaker position.
In his analysis, Mark highlights how most EU exporters are set to face higher costs when accessing the US market, while Northern Ireland stands to lose some of the unique advantages it gained from its post-Brexit status.
