Speaking your own language is an affront to American business. Better clean up your act Frenchie.

Nothing says "American values" like whining about how foreigners insist on speaking their native languages in their own countries (while threatening to invade them and demanding they do you special favours).

Wait until they find out about China.

In that case I don't see why they'd object to it, their president seems to be all in favour of illegal trade barriers.

Manges de la merde, gros sans-dessein orange.

I'm calling it, he's going to say the same about the requirements to use the metric system.

Also, why does he care about trade barriers? I thought his goal was to economically isolate the US from the rest of the world. It sure is what all his actions and measures have been best at accomplishing so far.

Were these idiots dropped on their heads as a baby? In what world can one country dictate the laws of another country without there being a war?

They're trying it on here in Australia too. The USA pharmaceutical industry is lobbying the USA administration by claiming that our PBS, Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, which allows us to have affordable medication and a safety net, is harming their bottom line because they're required to negotiate with the Australian Government in order to supply their medication at a negotiated price. Must be tough to have to negotiate with adults.

Amazing how the US government thinks US businesses have any standing in our country, after it wiped its ass with that trade treaty that wildly favoured them.

God, why do they feel entitled to our marketplace? Jesus Christ can they just fuck off?
