Thanks, Mojo.
Yep, it’s a real good thing Costa Rica joined. I am hoping to see a few more join in.
Some of the countries will be like Antugua, seeking direct compemsation for gambling losses, others will use it as a pressure point for other concessions, such as the EU.
Either way, it will cost the US dearly and should cause debate and reconsideration. While the Antigua approach reaches directly into the US pockets, the EU approach will mobilize the particular industries it will target to complain to the US government.
