Scoop: President Donald Trump’s Private Threat To Upend Global Trade | MSNBC
In a recent MSNBC segment, Axios' Mike Allen sheds light on President Donald Trump's alarming intimate discussions regarding the future of global trade, particularly during the G7 summit. Allen reveals that Trump conveyed to fellow leaders that NATO is as detrimental as NAFTA, highlighting his disdain for international trade agreements and hinting at his potential withdrawal from the World Trade Organization (WTO).
During this discussion, Allen emphasizes the gravity of Trump's comments, suggesting that his threats could disrupt international trade relationships significantly. Trump's consistent claims during his campaign that the WTO is a "disaster" have left many political insiders worried. They fear that despite the administration's attempts to downplay these risks, Trump may act unpredictably, possibly announcing a withdrawal from the WTO on a whim.
The implications of such a move would be profound, potentially throwing international trade into disarray by removing the very framework that helps mediate disputes between countries. Allen metaphorically describes this potential withdrawal as akin to removing a referee from a critical game, emphasizing that while some may think it's desirable, the chaos that would ensue is likely to be far-reaching and devastating.
Further into the conversation, Allen touches on the upcoming midterm elections, pointing out how Democrats are beginning to strategically hone in on voter targeting, particularly focusing on individual voters rather than broad demographics. This shift in strategy, highlighted by innovative campaign ads addressing issues such as harassment and abuse, reflects a larger cultural change in political campaigning.
Moreover, there's discussion about Republican strategies as they seek to capture the female vote, indicating a shift away from solely promoting tax cuts and moving towards narratives surrounding national security.
This segment serves not only as a critical analysis of Trump's potential trade policy changes but also positions itself within the larger narrative of current political strategies as the midterms approach.
