If nothing else, remember this:

Rule #1 in any trade deal is to fully understand who is the customer within the equation. The U.S. market is the biggest trade customer on this entire beautiful blue planet. We hold all the leverage. Access, or denial of access, to this market is the leverage.

...and just as the US is China's best customer

...closer to home, so are we boomers still the biggest voting block, not some LGBTQ miniscule minority.

Sorry to be so politically incorrect....not.

You got it chiller. Often forgotten, a good reminder why the US of A is king of the trade hill.
