This is really hard. You bargaining with a bully that wants the right to slap on tariffs at any time which would know from experience in softwood lumber would be applied for political reasons rather than reasons of fairness. At the same time, the bully teases you with potential access to a market vital to the present configuration of our economy. It isn't about friendship or partnership - it is avowedly "me first and only me". I don't envy our negotiators and I can only say it heightens my enthusiasm for seeking greater partnership with Europe. There are so many great Americans and great American companies that I really mourn for the loss of friendship the Trump administration implicitly (in our case) represents. With the Mexicans it is explicit.
