...aimed at Western Europe, from an estimated 250 to 162, the number that Britain and France now have in their independent nuclear arsenals. At that time, Reagan outspokenly stuck to the U.S. position at the Geneva talks on intermediate-range nuclear weapons, a "zero option" under which NATO would forgo the planned deployment, starting at the end of this year, of 572 new Pershing II and cruise missiles if the Soviets dismantled all intermediate-range missiles...
Despite persistent U.S. protests, West Germany, France and other Western nations are committed to supplying financing and materials for the Soviet gas pipeline and have refused to retreat from this position. Why, ask the Europeans, should they forgo the profits from the $10 billion deal and deny themselves much needed Soviet gas when the U.S. refuses to revive a grain embargo that would hurt American farmers?

Moreover, the Americans say, such large and diversified companies as Hitachi (1981 sales: $15 billion) and Nippon Electric ($5 billion) could afford to forgo profits on memory chips in order to undercut competitors. In the jargon of foreign trade, Japan has allegedly "dumped" chips in the U.S. market at a price lower than production costs...
