Bring in Washington and Oregon and get a corridor up the west coast. Let’s connect Canada and Mexico and the sane US states to create a powerhouse trading union

If we could somehow get our own trade aggreements to work, and bypass the Federal government on this... It would be so good to just have the west coast pull together on this. A trade civil war... Sure, we will still need stuff from the east coast, but anything they need from the Pacific Ocean will have to ship around now if they want to avoid us. And it opens up trade through the west coast between Mexico, West Coast, and Canada.
