It’s more expensive to ship across the oceans and requires a whole set of other infrastructure.

It only needs two ports and two docks. One of each at each end of the shipping route.

It’s exceedingly more easy to ship across land borders and to try and say my point isn’t valid like this is laughable.

Do you really think building and maintaining thousands of miles of roads and rails is cheaper than a few ports?

We already have the infrastructure to ship to these markets, or we wouldn't already have established trade deals with them.

No shit Sherlock, did you get your MBA in Economics from DUH University?

Your point isn't valid because we have the modern technology to easily ship across oceans, and nothing is stopping us from improving the ways we do that to make them more cost effective.

Your entire argument is "Its cheaper and easier" while ignoring the very real problems being dependent on the US for trade brings.

Europe would rather get the material from continental Europe if they can, just like we’d rather ship within NA if we can.

Every country would prefer this. Another "No shit Sherlock" point from an absolute genius graduate of DUH University.

Just because we can, doesn’t mean we have to do so at greater expense and time. It’s very normal for companies to stay within their continental area before deciding to expand to shipping overseas.

If your point is that we need to remain tethered to the US for our own good you should work for Trumps PR team instead of arguing in support of what he wants for free.
