Little head has been sent spinning on shoulders by all the trade protectionism that's coming out of the US lately.
What happened? First the steel debacle, and now the farm subsidies. Whatever next? For a country that's ostensibly committed to knocking down the barriers to free trade across the free (and not so free) world, these actions are sending some pretty confused messages to the rest of us.
Okay, there's domestic politics and re-election to be thinking about, but doesn't that apply to all democratic members of the WTO?
Seems to be very much a case of 'do as we say but not as we do'.
What do people think?
