No, you're certainly not putting words in my mouth. I would agree with that statement.
I'm sure that some sectors and some businesses can do away with the American market.
My business focuses on architecturally specified wood products. Just the logistical realities of trying to ship those overseas are very difficult. We talk to an architect or a specifier on Monday, and the following week we deliver them the product they need. I can't do that in Europe.
