I’m thinking that country’s, that were more or less forced to join, are seeing that there’s an option: President Donald J Trump.
They were told that the union would create a stronger trading bloc and position and all would be right with the world. What did they get? An invasion from the 3rd world, threats if they made a peep about it, edicts from unelected members telling them what to do, and insane levels of corruption.
The President has stated that he’s willing to enter into a trade agreement with damn near any country, as long as it’s FAIR. If they want, free, they’ll get it, as long as American made products can flow freely into their countries, as well. It ain’t brain science. It never was.
They don’t want American products. They are convinced that we sell inferior chicken while France sells superior chickens. Why they can’t raise their own chicken is beyond me. And they’ve made it clear they don’t want Hershey’s Chocolate. Of course, Dairy Milk is not that much better but whatever...
Boris Johnson said he wants protection for British farmers, bankers etc in any deal. That makes sense as otherwise the British economy will be completely beholden to the USA
Fair should not be the measure of a trade deal.
If I was to play ball in the NFL fairly, I would be carried off in a stretcher.
PPACA health care costs are a burden on our companies that require tariffs to balance out.
Our public school teachers teach an average around 16 kids each. Chinese school teachers probably average around 50. This makes it more expensive for American workers and their employers.
The EPA forces our companies to pay to reduce pollution. Chinese companies don’t face high EPA or ADA costs.
