The difference is at least a the major players in the EU (Merkel, Macron) are in it for their people while Trump is greedy, narcissistic con-artist in it entirely for himself.

MAJ Byron Oyler - How many foreign countries have I lived in? Four, the US, Canada, Korea and Japan, and none of them through the military. I also speak five languages and have traveled to far more countries than I've lived in.
Trade is not one-sided, and isolationism, white supremacist and tax-cuts for billionaires are not acceptable.

How many Ford car lots did you see in Korea? Or Chevy car lots? What brands of dishwashers in were sold in Seoul? Answer to all of this is none. How you tie white supremacies and tax cuts into Trump trying to even trade is beyond me. Oh and the fact you speak five languages adds nothing to the conversation.

MAJ Byron Oyler - Ford isn't so popular there, but GM is.
Buick positively dominates the Chinese market.
The languages add a lot, because when I travel, I can actually talk to the locals.

Remember the Reagan era, MAJ Byron Oyler? How Americans suffered based on the stubborn death grip on a failing ideology? And yet, we continue to rerun l return to a failing economic theory (give to the rich and take from the poor. Monty Python’s Dennis Moore sketches wittily addressed that. Unfortunately, Americans have this form of recurring amnesia that makes us forget that while tumbling down there dark staircase over and over... Never learning or lesson.
LTC (Join to see), I appreciate your wisdom from experience in the world. To bad you are not a presidential advisor. But, my experiences with three administrations conclude that good ideas are only recognised after falling down the rabbit hole. And, even then, only if one his his head hard enough at the bottom.

There's Free Trade and there's "Free Trade". The EU definition includes government subsidies for their industry that amount to functional tariffs on non-EU goods. Knowing that American media will propagandize on their behalf, the EU is attempting an end run to promote opposition to Trump's vision of free trade.

Free trade should have the most restrictive of the treaty signers policies on imports and exports, that is the baseline. Free and equal trade.

The job title of the person quoted in the article tells the full story: “In my view it will be 19 against one at the G-20, and the European Union will try to take over the role of the U.S. in respect to trade,” said Claudia Schmucker, head of the program on globalization at the German Council on Foreign Relations.

MSgt Mullins, I have to agree. If the EU wants globalization they can pay for it. Although with Germany paying for so many refugees I don't think they will have the money for it. I think I read that the unemployment rate in Germany for refugees is 99.75%, so I'm not sure that they would have the funds. Plus the U.S. pays a lot for Germany and other countries defense costs.
