The EU is by far the world's largest economy and manufacturer - the US
manufacturing base has been hollowed out for decades, and its GDP is less
than 90% that of the EU. Add in all of the rich European countries, and
you get an economic space 15% to 20% bigger than the US, and a bigger
consumer market, too.
