This is a big 'no no' for supposedly 'free trade' I don't know, export finance is a tool used by many countries, the U.S included.

Yes. This kind of what the World Bank is.

However, it's not the same thing.

Imagine if Trump Directed the Fed to print money to give to Chase Bank, to lend money to TMobile Germany to buy gear from Cisco. This would be incomprehensible to us.

So it's all a game, we need to play accordingly.
