Given Trump appears to barely understand tariffs, it seems somewhat remote he has a well thought out approach to international trade and Brexit.

There's also an argument that as the HO is so massive it doesn't really manage the tasks it has very well.
Also - migration isn't just about policing (border force etc), it feeds in to alot of other areas: housing, health, transport, business. education
