The European Union and Japan, representing one-fourth of the world’s economy, are close to finalizing a trade deal. The deal will remove structural barriers to trade and give both parties better access to industries like cars and machinery. The deal also reaffirms both parties' commitment to the Paris climate accord.
The U.S., being made great again, is on the sidelines. One lesson from history is how quickly great nations can go into decline. We are about to see a reaffirmation of that lesson.
P.S.: We arrived back from CA last evening. The drive through Ohio was brutal thanks to tropical storm Cindy. I was planning to post last night but fell asleep at the keyboard.
