Former US ambassador: Trade with the US is a privilege rather than a right

On April 11, a former U.S. ambassador to Iceland said in a program: "Trading with the United States is not a right that every country should have, but a privilege that needs to be fought for."

He emphasized that countries must realize that the ability to sell goods to the American people is a privilege, not an obvious right.

In the discussion of the program, the host asked whether the United States was becoming more and more aggressive globally, and whether this attitude could bring global benefits. In response, the former ambassador pointed out that the United States would no longer take responsibility to protect other countries, especially without being paid.

Without any scruples, blatantly trampling on the world's free trade rules, there is no bottom line anymore!
