My Trade Secrets today. There's quite a lot of bipartisan consensus over trade in the US (wrongheaded) and the UK (OKish for non-EU trade).

But Marine Le Pen in France is a new and v dangerous departure, bringing protectionism to the French border.

“But that was boneheaded ignorance, rank prejudice and hapless incompetence rather than protectionist intent.” Wonderfully put. On France, presumably protectionist attempts by Le Pen would setup an almighty legal as well as political clash in Brussels?
