Tanaiste Simon Harris contraddice la Casa Bianca della sua conversazione con Marco Rubio

[deleted]

Nationalise the pharmaceutical plants.

Bad lie to call out. The only reason Marco Rubio would lie about mentioning it, is if he privately thinks a trade deficit with Ireland doesn’t matter to the US (because it doesn’t, a lot of the pharmaceutical goods we export aren’t manufactured at all in the US), but has to play to the audience. Probably should’ve kept quiet, cause now it will definitely be hammered home during the next meeting

We’re kind of in an awkward position, our economic interests are very much in favour of a strong relationship with the US. However we’re also extremely pro EU (for good reasons). Feels like one of these things are going to have to give unless Martin/Harris plays a blinder in relations with both.

It’s gonna be funny when the MAGAs discover where their Viagra and heart stents come from

there is 6 million people in Ireland

there is 300 million people in the US

and there is a trade deficit how are 6 million supposed to buy the same as 300 million

Hmmmmmm….

and a load of Irish FDI comes from US companies

Maybe don’t let the US companies go somewhere cheaper to make the products services for the US market.

This sounds like a problem caused by a US government decision. The solution to the deficit is completely achievable by the US government with out any talking to other countries.

So we supposedly already have members of Trumps administration lying about what is said during phone calls but sure it’s good for Martin to actually go have talks about Ukraine and Gaza with Trump. What could go wrong?

I really don’t think anyone should meet them alone, shit like this you always bring back up….

Can we not send Michael D with them….

Just hope they don’t invite him back here, not sure country could stomach it

Same story with macron and Starmer , reeling you in then attack , your going to be dealing with low life here . Anything that was ,they are doing the complete opposite. So the relationship between Irish and America is finished. They want to shock and what better way them to get the Irish over a week early before paddy’s day . Expect no green on paddy’s day in America . Have your guard up with this scum . Europe if anything needs to up their nuclear arms.

It’s odd that the US wants to shrink it’s gigantic Trade Deficit – with the Dollar being the world reserve currency, the US trade deficit is literally the lifeblood of the entire world economy, holding up exports and economic activity for most of the world, and keeping the world well stocked with the reserve currency (Dollars).

It’s pretty much the whole world paying a tithe/tribute (in physical goods and services) to the US, for holding the reserve currency – as no other country can sustain such a deficit without being the reserve currency issuer.

You’d think the US would want to keep it that way.

If the US does try to massively cut its trade deficit, that opens up other regions taking over as the reserve currency issuer (and beneficiary of the massive trade deficit tithe/tributes) – and Europe with the Euro would be smart to try to take advantage of this (as otherwise China is likely to).
