When China see their largest trading partner seriously siding up with the next manufacturing powerhouse, India, that will get their attention.
When Trump saw Putin, he played his energy card. Our excess of oil and natural gas has become a key political weapon. And guess what? Our Secretary of State is the ex-CEO of Exxon! Brilliant, Mr. Trump.
Geebus I wish this same strategy would be applied domestically and eliminate **koff koff** wrap Energy, EPA, and Interior into Homeland Security. I mean, drain the freaking swamp already.
