American Fortune Life
Chapter 1581: Mass Anger
In the morning, the dazzling sunshine of New York winter passed through the floor-to-ceiling window and Andy couldn't even open his eyes.
Ivana, who reached beside herself in confusion, jumped in the air, turned her back to the sky, lazily opened her arms, stretched her lazy waist, hit her in the debt, and sat up directly.
He grabbed his hand and looked down at the clock on the wall. It's 8: 00. Today is his day out of New York, flying to Los Angeles, attending the Qualcomm shareholders' meeting tomorrow, February 6, turning the table upside down, officially joining the Qualcomm board of directors and finishing the final internet collection!
Wow...
The shower flushed out hot bath water and washed Andy's crystalline post-war residue.
After washing, Andy wore a white bathrobe and wiped his hair while walking out of the bedroom and down the stairs.
Ivana, wearing a dark blue bottomed white flower-tied nightgown, heard footsteps downstairs, smiling sweetly and holding a cup of coffee, appeared on the first floor of the stairs, watching Andy walk down.
“Good morning, darling. ”
“Good Morning-”
Andy smiled and kissed Ivana, then took the hot, aromatic coffee and reached for the sofa in the living room with her waist and limbs.
“I was a little upset you didn't wake up with zui yourself this morning. ”
After the two of them sat down, Andy put the coffee cup on the table and smiled at Ivana.
“You guys...” Ivana's mouth curled and sweet smile hammered Andy, but knowing that his man was used to it, he didn't care, but picked up the newspaper on the table and handed it to him.
“Why don't you take a look, it's already out there! ”
“Hmm?” Andy opened the newspaper and frowned. “What happened? ”
“Uncle Auston's proposal, which this time truly stabbed Mahoneycomb, aroused a lot of excitement among nations, and the major trading partners of the United States, even more so with the outrageous bombardment of the" buy American goods ”clause, has been said to violate the commitment of the leaders of the major economies“ not to resort to protectionism ”and has warned of a possible trade war. ”
“Buying American freight policy could start a trade war! ”
“A proposal with a distinct protectionist colour! ”
“Economic patriotism, which may meet political needs! ”
“Trade protectionism is the“ poison ”in response to the financial crisis! ”
Almost exclusively the title of biased criticism, Andy couldn't help but smile and spit: “What a crowd of outrage! But isn't this Canadian financier crazy enough to threaten the United States with a trade war? Oh, to be honest, it's really nice to them all on a weekday, just to mention a little bit, one jumps out like a landmine, and in turn threatens us, which is ridiculous! ”
However, it is not surprising that the major trading partners are so keen to call for free trade by the United States, which, in the face of widespread global economic and financial challenges, may introduce "buy American goods” clauses that not only violate the principles of free trade but also run counter to the spirit of working together in times of distress, raising concerns.
As to why the 'US Priority' proposal had been subjected to comprehensive targeting and outrage just now, the main reason was that all of those trading partners, who were counting on the United States to help emerge from the financial crisis, were genuinely afraid that it would be promoted by certain forces.
It's not that they're making a big deal out of it, it's that these American allies have a very deep understanding of the American boss, and you know, America is a strange country, and it's one of the most kidnapped countries in the world by people.
If, indeed, the American people were neglected to create economic patriotism, once the momentum had developed, no one in Washington would stand up against the ballot, including the big tree called the President, who was in the wilderness with the wind!
So, in the United States, sometimes it seems strange, if it really damages some interests, it's absolutely important to pay attention from the beginning, because in Washington, really anything can happen, even if it's a big deal, it's important to pay enough attention!
Because once you pass, it's not that easy to overthrow!
Andy looked quickly at the responses in the paper, and British Treasury Secretary Darling said the fight against protectionism was more necessary today than ever before. The German Minister of Finance, Steinbruck, also pointed out that during the Great Depression of the 1930s there had been a very destructive situation of trade protectionism that had sparked trade wars among nations and that every effort should be made to ensure that history was not repeated.
The American Consumer Electronics Association warned that the Government's commitment to comply with international norms was meaningless and could trigger a series of opposition voices, such as trade reprisals in various countries, resulting in Americans losing valuable jobs rather than stimulating the economy.
Moreover, to make Andy laugh, the opposition camp also stated that buying American goods away from low-cost imports was expected to raise the cost of the project by a quarter and could delay the start of construction in the economic stimulus plan, as a separate cloud would be required to ensure that the employed complied with the ordinance.
In a nutshell, a proposal with a strong protectionist colour of 'US Priority' is absolutely wrong, unacceptable and a public enemy of all nations around the globe!
Andy sneered at it, but he also knew that the current United States administration would never play trade protectionism, because the financial crisis was almost over for the United States, ready to start a bottom-up rebound, and it was precisely at this time that the United States needed to benefit from all the countries of the world that it could not offend its little friends!
But if it's because the United States doesn't dare to fight a trade war, it's really a lot to think about, honestly, in today's world, in the context of bilateral trade, no country has ever had the United States.
With the largest domestic demand market in the world and its unparalleled advantages in high-tech areas, and now that manufacturing bases have been relocated to Heaven Dynasty and neighbouring countries in Asia, the United States is well positioned to reduce dependence on low-end products from trading countries. So, fighting it is really self-inflicted.
“Is Uncle Auston gonna be all right?” Ivana had seen the stories and looked at Andy, who had been laughing so hard, without worrying to ask.
“What can be the problem? Oh, don't worry, not only will there be no problem, but this time my dad is actually on stage to establish his political rookie status!” Andy laughed, closed the newspaper, reached out and patted Ivana's little hand, comforting.
Of course, it's not that Andy is just comforting to Ivana, but the big truth is that his own father's proposal is already fully representative of the values of the American Elephant Party and biased toward trade protectionism, so not only will he not become a target, but he will get the widest possible support within the Elephant Party, and will also impress the people who support the Elephant Party!
“Well, things are starting to ferment, and it's not our concern anymore, we just have to wait and see the show, and, hey, the G-7 meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors in France this month was really lively, and maybe Gaetner will get attacked by a crowd, haha...” Andy walked into a restaurant filled with breakfast, smiling with happiness and happiness.
