The innate US authority and respect is gone. They were always duplicitous arseholes. But they were also leading the free world.

I remember stories like Canadian water companies unable to service their customers as US companies were given priority.
Focus on the EUFTA instead. Oh, and let's not forget our Asian neighbours. We should prioritize relations with them too.
