The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

U.S. won’t renew USMCA, opening door for negotiations with Canada and Mexico

The decision means the USMCA will stay in effect for another decade, provided no member tries to withdraw from it. But it also triggers yearly reviews that could result in the renegotiation of major parts of the treaty.

Trump “chose not to rubber stamp a USMCA renewal without addressing existing issues,” a senior administration official told reporters in a call announcing the move.

So, now, corporations don't know what to plan for. Terms could be changed before today's CAPEX decisions can be implemented. Trump the most perfect has blathered everything from stricter USian content requirements, to full US withdrawal. Or, someone could hand him a really fat check, to make a favorable decision, to them, that is totally at odds with "America First", but align with "Trump First" instead.
