Iran receives more airplanes ahead of renewed US sanctions

As unlikely as it may seem, it is about time the rest of the world came together to find a way of doing business and get by WITHOUT the US, side-lining it completely! Countries should pay the initial cost and start replacing the US as source or destination of their trade, getting rid once and for all from this financial bullying. It would be interesting to see how well the US would do by itself, isolated from the rest of the world, tasting just a little of its own venom...
Airbus makes the wings in UK. Mobile , AL, builds down here. Recently found out they are looking for local US suppliers.
Excellent comment on tariffs. I recently had a similar statement in a speech. Being British and have been in the USA for over 30 years, legally I might add, I have strong feelings about how US money is abused overseas. My first job in the UK army was driving Nukes around Germany. If we cut across a field the US/UK had to pay damages! Go figure!
Cut the UN Funding.
