The author keys into some points critically important that most don’t think about. America imports more manufactured goods and raw materials than it exports. As the administration has endlessly gone on about. However, it exports more ‘services’ than any country in the world. I think Trump and Lutnick simply are assuming that won’t change or come under discussion. Most of these American ‘services’ exports are heavily advantaged in favour of American exporters to the UK and the EU. That’s because these ‘services’ are effectively not taxed, nor regulated. (With a few notable exceptions.) That’s because, in the EU particularly, there has historically been a deference to America—for implied military defense against Russian attack. The Oval office meeting w Zelensky, together with ignoring Denmark re: Greenland, and Canadian 51st state rhetoric has however finally started breaking the wall. Thereby freeing the UK and Europe to trend towards now taxing and regulating such American ‘services’. That will allow UK and EU competing ‘services’ to flourish. Because, essentially, the anti-circumvention laws, besides making certain American billionaires ridiculously rich, mainly serve to inhibit innovation.
