We can pioneer standards that are not like bringing Vietnam or other countries up to some standards, but taking two high-standard entities and taking the rest of the world with them by establishing a high bar for the way we can conduct our commerce.
Hamilton advocates for setting high standards in global commerce with the U.K. and EU.

since the end of the Cold War and even before, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, every--both Bushes, and the Democratic Presidents have held the vision of a Europe whole and free.
Trade is not the driver of our relationship with the U.K. or with Europe. It is investment.
If we are facing or actively engaged in creating a Europe that is fractured and anxious, I would argue that is not an American interest and it will shortchange the American economy as well.
the message it sends politically, and let's face it, trade deals are political, is the wrong message.
