Excuse my flippancy.
Speaking strictly for myself, I am very tired of people from other nations, especially western nations, looking to the USA to act as their ultimate protector on one hand, while they villify us on the other.
My jaded view as an old Cold War veteran plays a part.
My lifelong experience with Canada,Cuba and Mexico as my nearest neighbors also colors my somewhat jaundiced world view.

I do not think it would be advisable to reopen NAFTA. It might not be approved, again. However, we are happy to negotiate bilateral free trade agreements. What are you selling/buying? It is interesting to hear that you feel threatened by the EU. I had not heard of that before. Brussels is bossy. That's for sure. Can you join NATO?

Sorry Sarasmom, my post abowe was supposed to go to you to, I was just noticing my error.

Iceland ciding with the US in Cold War, and before that the WW2 was mostly my party´s doing, the Independence Party. If the Communists had had their way, we would have got an Soviet military base. Most of them have newer conseded to this, but their propaganda and protests against the US base was to get rid of it, of course to be able to replace it with a soviet one. But long after the disapearence of the Soviet base they are still protesting it, some on a ground of pacifism, others to replace it with a future EU forces.
