Carney was brought in to strengthen our economy

You say this as if everyone agreed to it. It really seems more likely to me that carney was voted in because he wasn’t trump aligned.

right, maybe not because carney so skilled, but more because he’s seen as against trump?

A very skilled diplomat would know how to do that would they not?

I agree the job he’s attempting to do is very difficult. The negotiation terms were so obviously unacceptable that maybe we shouldn’t have given up the digital services tax? Maybe we shouldn’t have immediately caved?

It’s true that lack of capitulation on these things would have now looked to have brought about the unacceptable terms, but we would be exercising that sovereignty.

My point wasn’t that he should have accepted the terms, but that a “super skilled diplomat” would have achieved more.

He spoke well at Davios, then seems to have failed in every negotiation with the us. He totally caved on the digital services tax. What did it get us?

I don’t see how he’s super skilled as a diplomat

What killed the negotiations was the stupidity, greed, and arrogance of Trump and his top advisors

It seems to me that they could not possibly have made these demands without the expectation that we’d walk away.
