I think US consumers will manage. As non-American I find it strange that so few Americans seem to recognize that trade isn't going to magically make the world a peaceful united place.

It's all free market until they can no longer compete. Then it's time to get down and play dirty.

The point is that, when trade has the potential to make the world a peaceful united place, capital and its state will violently intervene to extract a "profit" instead.
