    I would be funny if the EU, Canada, Mexico, UK and China held a big international conference about the future of the US export market without inviting the US.

      Then they go off and make a deal with our greatest enemy about how the US will capitulate to their demands.

      Funny is that US doesn’t export anything outside of the country and the little it does the eletronics are mostly already made in China.

        This is absolutely incorrect.

        The US exported in 2023…

        • 320 billion worth of oil
        • 252 billion worth of Machinery/Computers
        • 213 billion worth of electrical machinery
        • 143 billion worth of vehicles
        • 134 billion worth of air and spacecrafts
        • 106 billion worth of optical, technical, medical apparatus
        • 94 billion worth of pharamaceuticals
        • 80 billion worth of plastics
        • 73 billion worth of gems and precious minnerals
        • 51 billion worth of organic chemicals

        The vaule is measured in USD.

        So, no, you are absolutely wrong

          Yankee got buthurt eletronics don’t count since half of it’s components are chinese you are just reselling them and unless you give some data for those numbers but it must be from european chinese or canadian sources us data is not reliable.

            You can dislike the US as much as you want, but do yourself a favor and don’t make you points to argue.

            Argue from reality and you may even make a real point

              You still didn’t give any data to your numbers but rather sounding someone like your current president wouldn’t be suprised if you voted for him.

                1. You are 100% correct, I did fail to share my source for the numbers! Good job! This is my source: https://www.worldstopexports.com/united-states-top-10-exports/
                2. However, that “Good job!” was nullified by you calling me a Trump voter. I have in the past called called Mr. Trump the following:
                • idiotic
                • dumb
                • stupid
                • a terrible person
                • horrible
                • disgusting
                • shitstain
                • repulsive

                I have have never even visited the US.

                Despite my extreme dislike for the current US regime, I will do my best to argue actual facts, and will not invent facts to support my points. Doing otherwise is pointless, since you are just arguing fantasy.

                The US is doing a LOT of shit now, you don’t need to invent more.
