Interesting story - but I don't buy it! ;) Global trade is not a cornerstone of general economic prosperity, at home or abroad. Almost the opposite is true.

Throughout the 21st Century we have witnessed increasing Global trade hand in hand with increasing Global Poverty, both home and abroad. The rot at the centre is a monetary system based on debt. A Global Ponzi scheme if you like.

Unless Monetary Reform is enacted, it makes little difference to the 'man on the street' whether we have trade wars, tariffs, or more "Global trade harmonisation"
