Mr. Sweetman used a phrase I have not come across before and it seems deliberately a little vague. It is "contender attitude". What does "contender attitude" mean? The context, if I am correct, is that the countries that can demonstrate the best contender attitude would be in pole position from a trade perspective with the USA. What does this mean?
