I dunno about the Asia thing either but you'd think it would usually be the other way around. Landing in the U.S. and ending up here. When I was in that game there was all kinds of grey market stuff coming up from the states into Costco.
Turns out taking the boys at Costco on head to head over their grey market practises was a risky thing to do and why I'll never set foot in one again. Don't care for guys in black suits packing violin cases.

Battle he's going to lose big time. Doofus thinks the U.S. lost jobs to Asia because of unfair trade practises? Not even close. Asia geared up for mass manufacturing ages ago and the U.S. lost jobs to cheap labour and robots. Companies will always go the make it cheaper route.
If Trump can get Americans working for 1/3 what they make now he'll actually be on to something...for a change.
I'm sure companies like Apple are really worried considering where most of their products are purchased. Isn't the U.S. Donny.

I would be quite surprised if the US wasn't Apples biggest market. Who do you think it is? Or are you implying the rest of the world combined buys more than the US alone?

I always get a kick out of the SJW's that want to boycott something anytime something they don't like happens.

Any boycott of US goods on this front would be indicative of supporting Trudeau. I’d rather have my prostate examined by Lucille....

Actually, Trump and Trudeau are exactly alike. They both put themselves first.

My new Princecraft is Canadian made, albeit by a US based parent company. The trailer under it is Canadian too...
