    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.

    And in return you will comply to the level playing field rules when it comes to your digital services, right?

      What? No. And if you threaten to regulate their tech giants they will fund extremists in your countries or threaten you with even higher tariffs.

    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.

    Threatening is always a winning strategy lol. Countries are already cancelling deals with US. I am sure comments like this will make them reconsider.

    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.

    When someone starts throwing out threats, that means they are totally in control of the situation.
