The Obama administration has even resorted to unseemly threats should Great Britain vote to leave the EU. President Barack Obama has warned that Great Britain will have to go to “the back of the queue” on trade negotiations should it vote to leave the EU. And U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman has warned the British electorate that “We’re not particularly in the market for free trade agreements with individual countries.”Read more here.
Truth be told, the United States has several free trade agreements with individual countries. These countries include Israel, South Korea, Morocco and Chile. Froman might find this information useful in his role as trade representative.
...do we have the right to ask our longtime ally to stay in an economic agreement they don’t like, for the sake of our own prosperity? Haven’t our friends earned the right to make their own decisions, even if it is a mistake?
This blog is looking for wisdom, to have and to share. It is also looking for other rare character traits like good humor, courage, and honor. It is not an easy road, because all of us fall short. But God is love, forgiveness and grace. Those who believe in Him and repent of their sins have the promise of His Holy Spirit to guide us and show us the Way.
