@pluralistic Access to the vast US market was the one positive trade-off for scrapping regulations against negligently unsafe products and practises. It was a high price to pay for that one little reward.
So... with Donald Trump promising a tariff war, ending the era of getting access to the vast US market: why should any country persist in these policies ?
Why should any country CARE what the US Trade Representative says if the ONLY thing they ever offered in return is no longer on the table ?
I think it's time for some serious lobbying to get rid of policies and laws like that. There is literally NO reason to have them anymore.
