Excellent commentary. I now follow you.
I am certain there are underlying reasons for President Trump's decision in this matter, that he doesn't want to disclose. However, I agree that he probably did not discuss it with leaders of any other country prior to his announcement. It is not a good sign for the future of international trade between America and other countries, as ALL leaders may see him as too unpredictable and impulsive.
Thank you for this good comment. It seems it is escalating quickly with EU responding...
