Our biggest concern is having Mr Dressup running this country while the rest of the world is engaging in a trade war. Having a dancing PM is hardly a chip to play.

If Trudeau were smart, he'd be promoting free trade with the US as an alternative to China and with China as an alternative to the US.

What are the NAFTA talks if not promoting free trade with the US?

I don't know the details of the backroom talks. If the US insists on a trading-block or a closed free-trade agreement imposing country-of-origin clauses that could force Canada to choose between the US and the rest of the world, then Canada should try to push back and insist on an open agreement that would still allow Canada to trade with whomever else it wants.

Not once India starts buying as well as the reconstruction good that will be needed in all the countries in the ME that the US failed to secure for their masters. Walnut, it is about time you started facing the fact that the war is over and the US and her cohorts, sorry, Israel and her cohorts, lost and are now scrambling to see which ones on the inside get devoured.
If we cave in over the straws does the UK own us again??

Walnut, any deals with China cut into the goods we can export, are you hoping to see our throats cut so China can appear to be doing the bidding of the US. Seems suicidal rather than patriotic really/

China will blink, they need the US market more than the US needs the China market.

What a fecking surprise the USA gets if they find that they got it wrong. The Chinese and Americans are in the process of trading places as the premo super power on the planet. Correction. The Hapless, poorly led Americans are handing it over to China on a silver platter.

Group: Officials destroying crosses, burning bibles in China

“The international community should be alarmed and outraged for this blatant violation of freedom of religion and belief,” he wrote in an email.

Under President Xi Jinping, China’s most powerful leader since Mao Zedong, religious believers are seeing their freedoms shrink dramatically even as the country undergoes a religious revival. Experts and activists say that as he consolidates his power, Xi is waging the most severe systematic suppression of Christianity in the country since religious freedom was written into the Chinese constitution in 1982.

As the China trade agreement is almost put to bed

Donald Trump Opens Another Front in Trade War

Just as the U.S. seems on the cusp of ending its internecine trade war with China, President Donald Trump may be setting the stage for another tariffs standoff, this time with India and Turkey.
The Office of the United States Trade Representative said in a press statement Monday that President Trump and Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer had stripped India and Turkey of their preferred trade status because they were no longer eligible.
India, the world’s fastest growing economy, was removed from the United States Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) because it had “implemented a wide array of trade barriers that create serious negative effects on United States commerce,” according to the statement. The decision by the Trump administration came “despite intensive engagement,” on the issue, it added.

Reuters reported that the move by Washington is the most punitive measure taken against India since President Trump took office. Trade ties between the U.S. and India have suffered with new e-commerce rules in the Asian nation hampering business for U.S. internet retail giants such as Amazon and Walmart-backed Flipkart.
New Delhi has also sought to strongarm card payment companies such as Mastercard and Visa into moving their data to India, while imposing tariffs on goods such as smartphones, to the displeasure of the United States.
India will not fight the U.S. on the GSP removal. “GSP is more symbolic of the strategic relationship, not in value terms,” a government official told the news agency on condition of anonymity.
Monideepa M. Mukherjee, a spokeswoman for India’s commerce ministry, told the Associated Press that India had essentially outgrown the zero-tariffs status given to developing nations as a catalyst to growth. “The GSP benefits will go, the U.S. will not relent on this,” said Mukherjee. “It’s meant for least-developed countries, and India has graduated out of that.”
The savings on tariffs offered by the GSP only amounted to $190 million a year. India’s economy, the sixth largest in the world, with a GDP of $2.6 trillion according to the IMF, is due to outstrip its rivals in Europe in the coming decades.
Turkey has said the decision to remove it from the GSP will hurt American small- and medium-sized enterprises and manufacturers, slamming the decision by the United States. However, the country has said it will look to press ahead with efforts to increase trade. It hopes to reach a threshold of $75 billion “without losing any momentum,” the country’s Minister of Trade tweeted Tuesday.
At the end of February, Trump announced on Twitter that he would be delaying an increase in tariffs on Chinese goods. What the president referred to as “substantial progress” in trade talks with Beijing appeared to signal the beginning of the end of a trade war between the United States and China that had cast a shadow on global markets, with Trump threatening a 10 percent to 25 percent increase in tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese exports.
