India completes FTA (Free Trade Agreement) (1 Viewer)

Three years?! Trump can get it done¹ in three weeks²!

2) technically, it's already been more than three weeks
 
That's going to boil Trump. Just like he pushed Canada and Australia to another Liberal government, Trump is pushing the world to forge trade and trade deals with other countries and reduce their risky exposure on American trade whims. In the end, even though there will be renewed "deals", I think the US ends up the loser as their export and import markets shrink.

And maybe those two nations feel they can trust each other, because they understand that the deal helps both sides, because both sides understand the benefits of free trade.

Who will want to close a deal with the U.S., since Trump might tear it up on a whim at any time? And since Trump doesn't understand the basic fundamentals of economics?
