I find myself wondering how much a trade deal with a single US state
could be worth,
Several or many states have trade representatives to individual
countries. I suppose most of that is to help along private investment
in one direction or the other, and some is to come up with ideas to
lobby Congress for, but regardless, if it's worth it to US states to
send reps to other countries, it would be worth it for the other
countries to send reps to the US. Whatever it is that they do.
FWIW, almost at the end, the article says "State-level deals have seen
some recognition of British professional qualifications and removed some regulatory barriers." As one who frequently doens't make it to the end
of an article, I would understand if you missed that part. :-)
The article mentions Indiana, Oklahome, and Florida. Indiana has lots
of corn mayby you want, and Florida has baskets woven underwater, I
hear. I hear they teach, or used to teach, underwater basket weaving at
the U of Florida, so it must be an important product. :-) Well,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_basket_weaving implies it's not
taught anywhere, but who are you going to believe, a bunch of pointy
headed intellectuals on the web, or me?
and is it not the purview of the Federal Government
anyway ?
Tariffs, yes. A few import or export itesm banned altogether, but
probably Britain bans the same items, so I doubt the reps to states have
any desire to avoid those bans. Other than that, I don't know anything
about this topic. :-)
