More appreciation at the Treehouse where Sundance explains Trump's eleven main squeezes, Melania, Ivana. Marla, Gabriela Sabatini, Rowanne Lane, Carla Bruni, Allison Giannini, Jackie Siegel, Kara Young, oops. I meant to say, economic squeezes on nations and on economic entities to urge them to see the light of genuine free trade that is fair to the United States.
The American press finds it impossible to report on this accurately. They're genetically predisposed to get it wrong every time no matter which aspect they report on. Just this morning I read the intro to an AP story that went, "as Trump moves further away from free trade through tariffs." Poor things cannot see the forest for all the trees surrounding them. How do you get nations to move toward genuine free trade? By making them feel the same pinch they give to us and have locked into our agreements with them. By making them confront their own unfree trade hypocrisy.
Until they bleed and cry, "Uncle!"
1) Sanctioned Venezuela to stop their access to expanded state owned oil revenue. (Read it see how this squeezes Russia and China.
2) Influenced global energy prices to squeeze Russia
3) Pressured Pakistan through financial support to bring tribal extremest to the discussions.
4) Used India as leverage against China through trade deals
5) Initiated USTR Section 301 investigating China's theft of intellectual property
6) Dissolve(ing) NAFTA for better bilateral agreements.
7) Shift to bilateral trade agreement with China
8) Repositioned U.S. relationship with the E.U.
9) Repositioned Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
10) Formed new alliance with Japan
11) Cut off Beijing influence over N. Korea by engaging N.Korea himself.
Much more details on each of these items at the Treehouse. If you want to be a smarty pants more informed than our news sources then you should read them. It's very good.
