Canada has not included the United States in an upcoming meeting aimed at saving the international trading system because it doesn’t share the views of the 13 invited countries, says the new Canadian trade minister.
Canada will host senior ministers from 13 “like-minded” countries for a two-day discussion in Ottawa later this month to brainstorm ways to reform the World Trade Organization, said Jim Carr, Canada’s newly appointed international trade diversification minister.
Carr said the group of countries he’s convened ultimately wants to persuade Washington of the continued usefulness of the WTO, but for now the best way forward is without the U.S. in the room.
“We think that the best way to sequence the discussion is to start with like-minded people, and that’s whom we have invited and they’re coming,” Carr told The Canadian Press.
“Those who believe that a rules-based system is in the interests of the international community will meet to come up with a consensus that we will then move out into nations who might have been more resistant.”
Asked what his message to Americans is in the meantime, Carr replied: “That a rules-based system is good for them too.”

Good luck with that.

any trade deal or trade strategy that doesn't involve the world largest trade country will not mean anything.

Typical liberal strategy. Create a safe space where you can echo your own ideas with no differing thought.

Odds that the sum total of all 13 invited come even close to equaling the economic might of the USA? Unless they invite China, I'd say the total falls far short.

This strategy isn't limited to liberals. :)

If he wants to poke easily agitated and easily offended Trump he's dumber than I thought. Trump is all about payback and Trudeau will get it at some point.

This is like a freshman telling his senior big brother he can't come to his party.

Remember how Boss Hogg used to stop bands traveling through Hazzard county on their way up North to make them perform......

Nobody really ever goes to the JV games for a reason. They aren't inviting America because America isn't interested in throttling down our economy to benefit other nations. This is participation trophy level.
