Dear President Donald Trump
As a student in 1957, I read the “Treaties of Rome” and realised the purpose was to saddle post WWII Germany with the lame duck economies of Europe, to constrain the German economy, financial strength and influence in the World. Having experienced the carnage of German technology and production during WWII, the pilotless flying bomb and the V-2 ballistic missile, my parent’s house was bombed flat, I felt that the architects of the “Treaties of Rome” are delusional.
The European Union followed but not the constraint of Germany and the German People.
Now, Germany is the second largest exporter by volume after China.
America is third largest with a cost index only marginally above China and significantly below Germany.
Germany is the second largest exporter because it is the best BRAND MARKETER in the World. If the USA was as good as Germany at BRAND MARKETING, America would be No1, NOT China.
With 2% LIBERTY TAX America and Australia have the opportunity for economic and financial strength to counter the ambitions of the BRICS Nations, as the foundation for PEACE with Global Free Trade.
Best wishes for your Presidency in 2025 and beyond.
Kind regards
