All I wanted was for things such as unified vehicle safety standards between the EU and US. If the US adopted the far newer and more relevant EU standards (which has effectively already happened to a large extend due to the globalized car market) Americans would benefit from safer vehicles while Europeans would benefit from more options. Instead we seemingly ended up with a whole bowl of agreements regarding controversial protectionism, financial regulation, etc.
