  Don't walk away

  IMO it'd be a mistake for southern nations to walk away from the table as you suggest. With the dollar sinking steadily, the US need for increased exports may well be the best leverage available to force reducing or eliminating US farm subsidies from a pure real politik perspective. It's a weird international moment when the US looks to South American exports for its salvation like some banana republic seeking cash from an economic power. It'd be a wasted opportunity if they can't use that leverage for their own benefit.

  Hope you're doing well, Tom. It was great to get to see you when you were in Austin. I had dinner with Tom King recently, who sends his regards. best,On Beware of U.S. trade officials bearing gifts posted 1 year, 3 months ago 3 Responses
