Trade Wars
HiTimes are changing.
Trump has gone for protectionism, he is slapping a 25% Tariff on imported steel and 10% on imported aluminium.
Other Countries are retaliating, putting Tariffs on US Goods,Levis,Bourbon,Harleys are the things the EU are talking about.
Trump is renegotiating the USA Trade Agreements.
What is concerning to the UK is the USA have not offered us the same landing slots for our Airlines under the Open Skies Agreement.
They have said we cannot just substitute the UK for the EU in that agreement, so this gives them a commercial advantage,US Airlines would take those slots currently used by British Airways and Virgin.

This is not good news.

Whether it will happen is debatable. What that idiot says and what actually happens are often two different things. He claimed during the election campaign he would build the wall across the Mexican border as soon as he was in office. I don't think the first brick has been laid yet!

Trump has vowed to protect US Industries.
The USA has already made a number of complaints to the WTO.

I think Trump is achieving much more than we're giving him credit for.
His pressure on North Korea seems to have worked,his tax cutting seems to be working, etc etc.
If he is an "idiot" I don't know where that places our lot!
I'm putting a few quid on him getting re-elected.

Exactly,Trump is after re negotiating all the US Trade Deals and Agreements.
The USA is not the only Country doing this.
