    You haven't, but you asked me what use my opinion is of Khan. So why not ask people what use their opinion is of Trump? Double standard?

    It's just about defence spending. Are you unaware of the disproportionate spending by the US?

    The US spend very little on NATO related activities. Is the Far East or any part of the Pacific any concern of NATO. The clue is in the abbreviation NATO?.

    I searched your source and it does not contain this quote from Trump "largest trade partner". I did find that in many MSM headlines.

    Always remember: MSM = Fake News.

    Trump actually point out that the UK has always done more business with the US than any other nation.

    You have ignored it again:
    "We are your largest partner. You’re our largest partner...........in light of what’s happening, to tremendously enlarge it and make it a much bigger trading relationship"

    Perhaps you can explain what he meant by "We are your largest partner. You’re our largest partner.....and make it a much bigger trading relationship" ?

    Is he saying that the US and the UK is obese or have the largest land area or has the largest GDP!


    Trump was wrong on two accounts! Germany is UK's largest trade partner and Germany is the larger trade partner with the US. Clearly Trump does not know......

    Trade is small part of the relationship between the US and the UK. In fact, the UK and the US do far more business with each other than any other country as the UK PM pointed out:

    PM May: "Every morning, one million Americans get up and go to work for British companies in America, and one million Britons do the same for American companies here. Our trading relationship is worth over £190 billion a year and we’re the largest investors in each other’s economies, with mutual investments valued at as much as $1 trillion.

    Mr. President, you and I agreed the first time we met that we should aim for an ambitious free trade agreement when the UK leaves the EU. And from our positive discussions today, I know that we both remain committed to this.

    I’m also sure that our economic relationship will only grow broader and deeper, building on the conversations we had and the ideas we heard from UK and U.S. businesses when we met them earlier today." PM May

    Trump agreed with her.

    President Trump: "We are your largest partner. You’re our largest partner. A lot of people don’t know that. I was surprised. I made that statement yesterday, and a lot of people said, “Gee, I didn’t know that.” But that’s the way it is. And there’s an opportunity — I think a great opportunity — to greatly enlarge that, especially now, in light of what’s happening, to tremendously enlarge it and make it a much bigger trading relationship."

    The UK has always been by far the largest investor in the US. Thanks to Donald Trump you are no longer one of those "people who don't know".
    I am sure you are very grateful. ;-)

    Of course I am! That is total percentage of GDP on military, not on NATO related activities. I've already stated this.
