I believe it's most likely there will be a trade-off between the environmental clauses in the NZ/UK FTA and the current NZ government's reckless and self-defeating intent to join the UK (and Australia) in a military alliance with the USA, the only real objective of which can be to make war on our (and Australia's) net surplus trading partner. For comparison, both UK and USA have massive net deficit trade imbalances with China.

Once again the interests of the international financial elite trump those of the citizens of sovereign nations.
