the whole lloyd's of london maritime insurance angle is so obvious that, at least for this retard, it is a wonder that i didn't see it long ago. also, it lays bare the british empire's existence and operation for all these years, and that every administration prior to this one was too much of a pussy to stand up to it.

to see how simple it is, one has to merely ask - why should a country without a navy (the UK) be a guarantor for worldwide maritime shipping?

POTUS is simply making the naval power (the US) the guarantor, as it rightly should be. fuck the british empire (city of London).
