President Trump has a basic rule that I love. He does not believe in being less than 50% of anything! Bilateral deals can be negotiated to everyone’s satisfaction, but when you are only one-third of a deal, you risk being outnumbered if the other two countries gang up on you. That is why he does not want another NAFTA. He wants one on one deal with Mexico which he has achieved, and if possible a one on one deal with Canada. If Canada continues its snotty game, he will not deal.
Look at all the things Trump has pulled out of where the USA was the moneybags paying the bills, but outnumbered in power. We are out of the TPP, the Paris Accords, the UN Human Rights, the Iran deal and those are just for starters. America’s SOVEREIGNTY is President Trump’s Number ONE concern.
We should ALL love him for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree. Ironically, during the NAFTA debates over the last 20 years, and looking at the EU trade agreements, I came to the conclusion that generic trade agreements are inherently inefficient and unjust. Each country should optimize its own distinctive competence. Generic agreements put a country at a disadvantage.
