Sounds like a great way to turn trading partners into… not-trading non-partners.
What a time to be alive 🙃
Just ask yourself who benefits from any of this and you know where these ideas come from.
Oh, I know. It’s blindingly obvious.
Said by a dumb as fuck republican who doesn’t understand how cooked the US is because of him and the other Nazis.
He doesn’t want a level playing field. A level playing field would mean obeying the same rules and regulations.
Exactly - a genuinly level playing field would mean the US adopting higher labor standards, environmental regulations, and consumer protections that many trading partners already have in palce.
Or what, you’ll add more import taxes that will get passed on to the consumer?
Cool.
Well I’m sure Brazil is happy with this dumbass statement.
Don’t be competitive. We really don’t believe in that in the US. We believe in excluding competitors since that is easier than innovating.
Make a level playing field for non-Americans first.
America third, Europe first!
“Level Playing field”: Sell your countries to BP, the fruit company
“We are going to destroy you”: CIA funds a coup and installs dictators who strike good deals with Joe Shmoe from Texas who happens to be a genius negotiator (don’t look at the snipers aiming at you as you sign away your country).
Or you know, Iraq 2.0!
Good luck.
