In a way, sure. But it would also be nice if we were more codependent, in a way?
For example, it's wild to me that there's no bilateral trade agreement between the US and EU. It seems like the most obvious no-brainer you can imagine.
If the US could just stop swinging wildly between two parties who hate each other being in control every couple of years, that might get done.
These sorts of big complex trade agreements take _ages_ to negotiate and require a certain degree of stability; given the US's current hyper-partisanship it's probably not happening any time soon. Realistically TTIP was dead the day Trump was elected.
