upgrade for ukraine. it triples the range, really, of existing weapons system that ukraine has about 50 miles. this has 150 mile range which allows it to strike, as you said, poppy, deep into russian-held territory in eastern ukraine. also in crimea. ukrainian forces agreed not to target russian territory proper. but as this comes just in advance of highly anticipated ukrainian counter offensive, they tend to regain some of that russian or all of that russian territory in the view of ukrainian officials. it s an enormous step forward in terms of capability for the forces. its a system that u.s. refused to give to ukraine due to concerns that range might make russia skiddish. and spark retaliation. i should note a western official is telling me, the quote, the uk previously said they will supply

a big trading relationship with canada. would this spark retaliation? maybe. especially from china. china could slap tariffs on soy beans. that damage is all theory. global stocks feeling it. that is enough for them to be worried. asian and europe markets falling overnight. dow down 420 points after the president said this. the nasdaq and s&p down 1%. shares of plane and carmakers hit hard. boeing and ford and gm. they would see higher costs for the products. there is a lot of uncertainty about the deal. is part of the problem the process? pulling a cake out of the oven before it is half baked? a lot of people say this guy was elected president. you would see the stock market collapse. his trade policies are so bad for the american economy. he hasn t enacted his trade
