What's the biggest threat to the Bretton Woods liberal rules-based order?

Russia.

Russia, Russia, Russia.

Bad, bad, bad.

Russia's nothing compared to China.

China is worse, an atheistic country at war with the United States already.

And nothing to say there.

They're making trade deals with a country who's already at war with the United States of America.

We need to make it very clear to them.

We have, you know, good ideas about the UK flag flying and the kinship there going way back.

But this is a, you know, a tectonic change up north with Russia and China and the sea lanes and the rare earth minerals and our autonomy and sovereignty as a country.

And I think they might have got a signal yesterday.

I think Pete Hoekstra, the ambassador to Canada, came out and said, you know, in the context of trade, we don't need Canada.

So that's laying it down.

And I doubt he came up with that line on his own.

President Trump is going to make it very clear.

Yeah.

Hoaxer does not wing it.

No, no, no.

This is not about little anecdotes around the fringes of trade policy.
