announces one topic to discuss ahead of time, then starts airing his grievances and laying blame (on whoever) as soon as he has an audience.

I'm changing the channel the second Dump starts lying, I mean talking.

I take Phucumol, so I don't care what I say.

I watch to see the train wreck and hope for a keel over event. I laugh as I see the next Sarah Cooper bit unfold before my eyes in real time.

I live vicariously through his disgusting use of the English language and his pervasive stupidity that makes even morons seem intelligent.

Of course those are all the edited versions of what I wanted to say as I don't want to be alerted on...lol.

Tue Jul 14, 2020, 05:41 PM

https://www.thebalance.com/most-favored-nation-status-3305840

Background of Most Favored Nation Status

All 164 members of the WTO receive most-favored-nation status. That means they all receive the same trade benefits as all other members. The only exceptions are developing countries, regional trade areas, and customs unions.

Developing countries receive preferential treatment without having to return it, so their economies can grow. Developed economies benefit in the long run—as economies grow in developing economies, so too do their demand for imports. That provides a bigger market for the developed countries' products.

The United States has reciprocal most-favored-nation status with all WTO members. None of the countries outside the WTO has bilateral trade agreements with the United States.
