    I disagree. In fact, I think a lot of nations would start trading with Colombia if it defied the U.S. under Trump. But I guess we’ll never know now.

      I don’t agree, I think a lot of nations want to try to stay off of trumps radar for the next 4 years.

      Unless something terrible happens, this should be over in 4 years.

        It’s funny how people think it we’ll be over in 4 years. And even if it is what about the 4 after that or after that. America has just proven it is an unreliable partner again. The world should walk away. I mean it’s crazy that China is more reliable at least you know who your dealing with.

      I think it will be interesting to see what China does as this bullying continues. They’re already facing tariffs, so they don’t have much to lose by stepping in and picking up new trade partners as Trump pisses everyone off. Might hurt for awhile, but it was always going to. Trump could prove to be the best thing for China’s economy & global influence in the long run.

        China threatened 75% tarriffs when Trump mentioned 10% tarriffs. Don’t see him following through with his threat yet.

          Personally, I’ve stopped thinking, “he can’t be that stupid/crazy.” Every time I think that, he proves me wrong!
