Kicking off the BIGGEST, most BEAUTIFUL trade talks. SIX countries a week, EIGHTEEN total! Some will make incredible DEALS, others will go home EMPTY-HANDED. Only the best get America’s business! VERY EXCITING! Stay tuned!!! 
hate to say it but Trump is not beating the great khan allegations, all nations of the world must bring him tribute
I don't know why they haven't stumbled into the idea of tributary nations. Sure that's already indirectly a thing. But you can't tell me it doesn't appeal to Trump to demand protection money directly.
The tributary countries are all being accused of having trade surpluses against the US.
every ambassador to the US is probably scrambling to order valuable gifts to personally bestow before these meetings
That would be absolutely hilarious if the US came crashing down because Trump got 47 Ronin'd.
That's what NATO is and the whole point of letting Europe bear the weight of the war in Ukraine is to make them pay for America's war.
The point is not that the US isn't extracting value from their client state, the point is that current US leadership is venal enough that they would desire a direct extraction of species.
Fair, but in my mind if we can consider a tax credit a form of government spending, getting someone else to pay for something you were doing is basically getting them to pay you.
see there you go. Remember we are dealing with a ruling class who think getting industrial goods in return for an IOU is a rip off on behalf of the IOU writer. There is a layer of obfuscation between the money and the American government and that is why they're mad currently. I am saying it is odd that they have not discovered that they can just ask for money directly by means of threats.
The Great Khan but all the conquest was done already
How very Amerikkkan
