    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.

    “Level Playing field”: Sell your countries to BP, the fruit company

    “We are going to destroy you”: CIA funds a coup and installs dictators who strike good deals with Joe Shmoe from Texas who happens to be a genius negotiator (don’t look at the snipers aiming at you as you sign away your country).

    Or you know, Iraq 2.0!

    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.
