      @@knightsnight5929 If I go to buy three three apples in the EU, I pay them for their apples. As of right now, if a person in the EU tries to buy three apples from me in the United States. They will have to pay me for the Apples and then pay the EU for the Tariffs that the EU currently has on American apples.
      Your Apples example is literally probably the best example for why the United States should be holding the EU accountable for unfair trade practices.

    I take it this was broadcasted yesterday before the stock market tanked and Trump announced that Mexico and Canada had caved. When Mexico and Canada had kept their offers as the same as they had announced last year.
    Trump folded on this but that doesn’t make him any less dangerous.
    I think an investigation as to who profited from yesterday’s stock crash should be interesting.

      @@marknicholson2281 that’s hilarious. Mexico and Canada never committed or did anything a year ago. Now they are jumping into action. Canada also named Mexican cartels as terrorists and will be helping USA and Mexico with going after cartels. Today cartels open fired on border patrol with automatic weapons when they arrested number 2 cartel leader. Mexico for first time has allowed US military flights into Mexico last night as part of operation to purge Mexico of these very dangerous organized crime syndicates.

      the US has slaves, Its literally wrote into their constitution, you just have to arrest them first before they can be enslaved.
      The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

      As a farmer in the United States I am directly affected by tariffs. I also know that the EU has used tariffs to prevent me from selling my goods to Europe for decades. The EU acting like it is unreasonable for the United States to feel like they have been taken advantage of by the EU is really pretty hypocritical.
      If the EU doesn’t think it’s fair for the United States to tariff their goods then they should stop tariffs on our goods.

    It’s really funny how we talk about the Chinese. Countries in China’s sphere of influence are called “client states”, whilst countries in the US sphere of influence are called “allies”. I wonder if China has as many military bases in its client states as the US has in the countries of its allies?
