This literally requires an act of congress and there is no way it will happen unless Congress moves even further to the right so go out and VOTE.
Remember when Congress sanctioned Russia and Trump still has yet to actually enforce the sanctions?

So literally every connection to every organization the U.S. has built ties to in the last century are bad.
If my eyes could roll back any further they would literally snap off of the optic nerve, which would mean, I wouldn't have to read anymore horrifying stories about Trumpzilla's reign of orange terror.
So maybe not the worst thing.
Link includes all 5 pages of the draftWhy it matters: The draft legislation is stunning. The bill essentially provides Trump a license to raise U.S. tariffs at will, without congressional consent and international rules be damned.
The details: The bill, titled the "United States Fair and Reciprocal Tariff Act," would give Trump unilateral power to ignore the two most basic principles of the WTO and negotiate one-on-one with any country:
"It would be the equivalent of walking away from the WTO and our commitments there without us actually notifying our withdrawal," said a source familiar with the bill.
- The "Most Favored Nation" (MFN) principle that countries can't set different tariff rates for different countries outside of free trade agreements;
- "Bound tariff rates" — the tariff ceilings that each WTO country has already agreed to in previous negotiations.
- "The good news is Congress would never give this authority to the president," the source added, describing the bill as "insane."
- "It's not implementable at the border," given it would create potentially tens of thousands of new tariff rates on products. "And it would completely remove us from the set of global trade rules."
Forget powerhouse, all those organizations have pretty much been created by the US and could considered the very fabric of Western liberal order. The idea that it's the US of all countries that wants to unravel it is just patently absurd - and yet that's exactly what this administration stands for.And it blow my mind that he keeps treating everything as if the US is some kind of victim. A small country that gets taken advantage of as if the US hasn't been an economic powerhouse for decades.

There must be a back channel getting orders from Putin set up at this point, I mean come on.
Is this some anti-(((globalism))) nonsense?
This is not just the US fucking itself over; the withdrawal of a major power could cause other nations to step back as well as trade walls go up all over the place and worldwide prosperity trends down.
He doesn't need a back channel he talks to him on a personal unsecured phone it's well documented.
More details, but again as the article admits, this is pure fantasy.Axios has obtained a leaked draft of a Trump administration bill, ordered by Trump himself https://www.axios.com/trump-trade-w...tes-d51278d2-0516-4def-a4d3-ed676f4e0f83.html

This has Putin's hands all over it.
Just like the NATO stuff, the trade wars with europe and all the chaos surrounding pulling out the troops.
No real american would do this. no one except for the guy being black mailed by Putin. how republicans dont see this is beyond me. this guy is so obviously compromised.
So literally every connection to every organization the U.S. has built ties to in the last century are bad.
Trump's plan all along. That's how many d's of chess he plays.Look at the bright side - Trump's presidency is the beginning of a world not built on US dependence.
Hopefully it means instead of the US dominating the world stage politically and economically, there will be more equality.
No, congress needed. It's a fantasy pipe dream. All the GOP cares about is money and staying in power. This fucks both those up, as it would instantly tank the economy.

This is something they'd push back on, as the economy is the only thing keeping Trump's approval so high. He does this, it starts a 2nd great depression and he easily drops 10%, which is bad enough to cost them their jobs and Self preservation comes first for them.

These are congressional republicans, not they voters they dogwhistle for. Their #1 priority legislation was a tax cut. They pull out of the international trade order and every corporation that bankrolls them will cut them off. McConnell wouldn't do it. He's evil, not stupid.Maybe congress is racist enough that money is not as important as putting colored people in their place now? If the military is willing to chuck aside decades of rivalry with Russia in the name of racism, then maybe the ones signing checks to politicians are too?
Deep shit.
He doesn't care what happens to the world, just as long as it benefits him personally.I'm starting to think Trump really just wants to watch the world burn.
