I wan't an explanation for how he can promise to triple existing FDI in US in 5 years. He'd definitely be including US weapons purchases, and more government investment in US owned auto sector. Maybe an OpenAI scam.

Something horribly wrong for him to open his traitorous fuckface without wink wink nudge that he's just lying to Orange Mussolini.

It's a complete failure just to have this meeting and promise so much. Instead of making better friends in the world. You're being too charitable in assuring that this means nothing.

    He can't promise anything about the FDI, it's not up to him, it's private investment. Like I said, both sides can make a deal that incentivized FDI. "half a trillion in the past 5 years, probably a trillion in over the next 5" is not exactly the language of a promise.

    I don't necessarily agree with the policy or trade deals in their entirety and I'm actually more worried if we're opening up Canada for more US foreign investment in the same deal.

    And we are making better friends in the rest of the world. We've been strengthening partnership with the EU including a new defense partnership. We're also finalizing new free trade agreements with the south East Asian bloc (ASEAN). And there's preliminary work ongoing on expanding free trade with the UK.
