The EU and Canada, UK, Australia, Mexico/etc need some new Trade Pact to counter What Trump is doing and to reduce their dependency on the US as a trading partner longer term! The Social democracies around the world are Trump's/Crony Capitalists' target because the Social democracies provide for the health care for their citizens instead of those countries letting the Crony Capitalists bleed the citizens of those Social Democracies dry! The Social Democracies provide for other progressive social Safety Net programs and education benefits that benefit the Social Democratic societies as a whole and not just the 10% most wealthy!

Trump and the Republican Party wants to get rid of the Entire New Deal legislation and return the US back to a regulatory structure that existed in the Pre Sherman Antitrust Act(1890) days in America when the Robber Baron controlled Crony Capitalistic Trusts had free reign and the US Economy was effectively cornered by the Robber Baron Trusts and hardly free market at all!

The Social Democracies need look at the US as not sharing the same values as the Social Democracies in the world and those Social Democracies should have been taking measures since 1980 to reduce any dependency on the US economically!

The US Should be Actively Labeled a Crony Capitalist Country and one that is Oligarch Dominated and not really a Free Market Capitalistic country!

And Trump/Crony Capitalists are actively trying to destabilize the Canadian economy as well as the economies of Mexico and South America!
