The Cold War ended 28 years ago.
we won. Honest.
America First
“Removing protections” is what Trump is doing. If the EU wants to play “me too” good for them.
Wilbur Ross was a member of an international panel at Davis discussing global trade and possible US tariffs. After listening to the globalists on the panel decry the impact US tariffs would have on international trade, Ross asked one question that left the panel speechless. “Name one country in the world that is less protectionist than the US?” Crickets. There is none.
Uncle Sap has been taken advantage of by the rest of the world and to the detriment of American workers. Industries and good paying jobs have been exported. We run a trade deficit with almost every country in the world. Trump wants fair and reciprocal trade. China, the EU, etc. protect their domestic markets using border taxes, e.g., VATs, and regulations. It is not a level playing field.
Seems to take the pressure off of the TX-NM-AZ-CA border.
Jorge Ramos can learn to speak French and German.
You know there may be two - Singapore and Hong Kong. Those are city-states that rely totally on trade for their existence.
I am a little curious....did the deal agree to let BMW-Mexico bring in Mexican-made BMWs into the EU?
I kinda doubt it.
I’ll make a prediction here...while you will see more Mexican containers delivered into ports of the EU...more will be noted with drug-shipments, and the cocaine prices in Europe will drop as competition starts to heat up.
Free Traitor™ is the correct moniker for these globalist blood suckers.
Fake post
Fake patriot.
WSJ still on their globalist crapola!
The Never Trumpsters love these articles. They can’t face the real world with MAGA!
They are Snowflakes pretending to be conservatives.
The agreements between Mexico and Europe satisfy very different requirements than those between America and Europe and Mexico.
Although isolationist here can’t comprehend the concept, the goal is to increase trade, not strangle trade.
Many here confuse the concept of international trade with globalism
NATO has far outlived its usefulness. Because of NATO Europe has not had to make that classic choice of guns vs butter. It is safe to say that with NATO, every industry in Europe was subsidized by the US.
Get rid of NATO and suddenly Europe is on a level economic playing field with the US since they will then have to fund their own defenses.
Do we really care anymore if Russia invades Germany? I don’t and never have, aside from that fact that we have had our own troops there. Bring them home and let’s stop caring completely.
Otoh, I’ve always held that the real reason for (or at the least the real effect of) NATO was to keep Germany from invading Russia -again-, and France, -again- for that matter. Splitting Germany after WWII was genius.
“The two sides traded goods and services worth $76 billion last year.”
What a stupid statement, and misleading for the unwary. That’s like saying “the US and China traded goods and services worth over 1 trillion dollars last year”, when the US took it in the shorts bigtime.
The WSJ doesn't get it; either deliberately or due to stupidity, who knows?
The United States is NOT going Protectionist.
The United States is finally getting a leader who will not let the USA get SKA—RUUWED by the world over bad trade practices.
Demanding they trade fairly with us is the ONLY thing we're doing!!!
More news from the Amnesty, No Borders Lobby at the WSJ
The WSJ was once accused of patriotism but was found Not Guilty.
With any luck this Europe-Mexico deal will mean that Mexico’s millions of Illegal Aliens will now go there. Win-win.
Where is that Global Citizens go to vote?
We’ve never had “Free Trade” anyway.
Exactly. I hope it does work out for Mexico so all the illegals can go back home.
The question is irrelevant to the discussion
“The question is irrelevant to the discussion”
that’s basically what the GOPe likes to say about Trump putting national issues ahead of their borderless world orientation.
