This is an act of war and illegal under both US and international law, let’s just be clear about that:

Oh excellent news. Brexit sovereignty strikes again. ‘Global’ Little Britain gets to plead with foreign powers not to screw us over. And foreign powers say no. We will be doing this shit for years. What an idiotically avoidable waste of our time and resources. www.farminguk.com/news/chlorin...
