US Congressman : "I have a message for America's trading partners. You better set a level playing field for American manufacturers and farmers, or we are going to destroy you"
Exactly - a genuinly level playing field would mean the US adopting higher labor standards, environmental regulations, and consumer protections that many trading partners already have in palce.
As an american to all GOP members - shut the fuck up! this shit is why everyone hates americans. Go home and be an isufferable piece of shit there, stop fucking up the country for the rest of us.
"Level Playing field": Sell your countries to BP, the fruit company
"We are going to destroy you": CIA funds a coup and installs dictators who strike good deals with Joe Shmoe from Texas who happens to be a genius negotiator (don't look at the snipers aiming at you as you sign away your country).

Threatening is always a winning strategy lol. Countries are already cancelling deals with US. I am sure comments like this will make them reconsider.
Fuck them :)
Or what, you'll add more import taxes that will get passed on to the consumer?
Cool.
Don't be competitive. We really don't believe in that in the US. We believe in excluding competitors since that is easier than innovating.
When someone starts throwing out threats, that means they are totally in control of the situation.
fuck. off. we don't NEED you!
Shame the EU thinks it does.
we'll see. if i can trust the EU for anything, it's being bureaucratically obtuse and using that for its advantage. lets give it time.
Well I'm sure Brazil is happy with this dumbass statement.

America third, Europe first!
Good luck.
