The US, whom we are regularly told is our great ally, didn't
hold back from imposing 220 percent retaliatory tariffs over
Bombardier.

The US used WW2 to destroy Britain as a world power.

I guess you mean the War Debt.

Not only. We used to have significant foreign investments in South
America. Sold to the Yanks for a song for agreement for the Yanks
selling us arms during WW2.

Nope, to pay part of the immense cost of WW2.

Not just South America, all British investments in the USA had to be sold.

That is a bare faced lie. Britain CHOSE to do that to get some money to
spend on arms.
