In fact, that strategy can be enhanced, targeting #MAGA donors, voters, and #RedStates.
A good example to follow for #Canada, for instance, is ๐the critical #Fertilizer ingredient for (#US) #farmers, #potash,๐ as we analyzed a few days ago:

A de facto "critical-minerals embargo" being imposed by #China on the #US was to be expected.
In fact, it is somewhat surprising that President #Xi did not implement it sooner, after the #US cut off high-end GPUs for #China, which are critical for the #AI race.
It might even be a ๐wise strategy to counter Trump's de facto all-out global #TradeWar.๐

That sounds very reasonable to me. Including the #US, there are so many things that unite all of the #Americas and the #European continent.
Why is my two-sided approach, one ever-deepening #FTA and a #DefensUnion, for further integration in #CEUM the right approach? --Because #DefenseSpending entails enormous costs that can only be borne by thriving economies.
