After months of tension with Republican U.S. President Donald Trump, New York State Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo has decided to cut ties with the federal state and declare New York state independent.
New York is therefore preparing to leave the United States and will become a fully independent state as of July 26, 2020.
The date was not chosen at random: it is the anniversary of the entry of the State of New York into the federation of the United States, July 26, 1788. New York was then the 11th state. to join the young USA.
New York’s GDP is equivalent to that of Spain or Australia
“A couple who no longer get along divorces, it is the same for the states that make up the United States”, indicate the New York authorities, who specify that it is a “separation at the amicable ”, in accordance with the provisions of the American Constitution. A free trade agreement is already in preparation between New York and the United States. Other similar agreements should be signed quickly with Canada, the European Union and the United Kingdom.
Will New York State survive on its own? No doubt for the governor who recalls the economic power of the state. New York alone achieved a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of $ 1,413 billion in 2018, compared to nearly $ 20,500 billion for the US as a whole. By comparison, New York State’s GDP is equivalent to that of Spain or Australia, while that of France is $ 2.7 trillion. New York will be a new country that matters!
