it is favorable enough for us to be seen as a friend of the u.s.a., but it is critical enough for us not to be seen as a client of the usa i think that that is a really important balance, that we enter into negotiation with the usa on any given matters -- the current one, sanctions on iran. we had our perspective, but at the end of the day we preferred the sanctions to work than another war in the middle east. so we cooperate on those things. we cooperate on ensuring there are no blood diamonds on the market. we cooperate to ensure that democracy is brought to syria. but i think we would retain sufficient independence and autonomy so as to not simply endorse military options and unilateral actions by a country like the usa. >> it is interesting, and these are my words, not yours -- that you are not there as somebody who is necessarily a client of the united states. actually, the trade percentage is really small. -- fairly small. it is big, but fairly small. some of your trading partners go all over the place, right? >> i think that the trade proportion is probably proportional to wha

select u.s.a. initiative slated to receive over $6 billion in this bill. if you haven't heard of it, you're not alone. virtually no one has heard of it outside the committee and those who are funding it. last june, president obama issued an executive order to establish select u.s.a. it was called the first ever federal effort to attract, retain and expand business investment in the united states. it seems to me that whenever a new federal program is touted as the first of its kind, it's usually a pretty good indication that it's completely unnecessary. this is no exception no exception to the rule. a quick read of the vague ways in which select u.s.a. says it serves the firs and economic development organizations certainly proves that. promoting the benefits of investing in the u.s.a., responding to inquiries about the u.s. business climate, helping investors confused by regulatory processes, offering guidance, these are hardly responsibilities of the federal government. in reality, it seems the ta
