Trading Partner Trends


We elected Trump to restore the US economy and he has done this despite the globalist agenda that was responsible for the US economic decline. The use of Tariffs to restore US manufacturing and reduce the US Trade Deficit is causing the US ideological split to define itself.

The old Axis powers in World War II were Germany Italy and Japan. They found enablers in Spain, North Africa and the Middle East. The old Allied powers were UK, US and Russia.

The new Axis powers are China and Iran. They are finding enablers in Russia and the Middle East.  The new Allied powers are the US and Israel with support from Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt. I expect other countries will take the side of the US and limit imports from China.

Trade has replaced War and countries are struggling with choosing trading partners. Trade has always been done by continent. The US has always traded with Canada and South America for food and raw materials, but also traded with Europe and Asia.

Trade is based on prices and product quality. But ideology is a factor and bad actors are punished.
