Trumps Deal with Russia Obsession Trade is getting Dangerous USA will Loose WWIII No Allies left

Trump seems motivated by something else, however. It’s clear by now he’s obsessed with trade, and with rewiring the global flow of goods that has evolved during the last 30 years. His latest moves include the imposition of steel and aluminum tariffs on allies that seemed likely to gain exemptions, including Canada, Mexico and the 28 countries of the European Union. Trump has now made clear: No exemptions. And as expected, those trade partners have responded in kind, announcing tariffs on a like amount of American imports including motorcycles, bourbon, pork, apples and cheese.

The fact is that if Russia invaded Europe and the US didn't help, Europe would be dead in the water... It's that alliance that protects BOTH Unions.

And if there was a war between two nuclear superpowers, everyone loses.
