In Face Of Protectionism, EU And Japan Sign Huge Open-Trade Deal
Japan and the European Union have signed a massive trade deal that creates an open-trade zone for more than 600 million people. The EU and Japan account for about
one-third of GDP worldwide.
"The document we signed today is much more than a trade agreement," said European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. "What we're saying is that we believe in open, fair and rules-based trade. What we are saying is that a trade agreement is not a zero-sum game, but a win-win for the involved parties."

Meanwhile, our idiot in chief, who understands absolutely nothing about trade, or anything else, starts absurd trade wars that will damage our economy for years if he's not stopped soon.
