Traduction de «USA » (Anglais → Français) :

When you are up here or we are doing business down south of the border — when USA means United States of America — we are proud to be your partner and glad to work with you. When USA means `us always,' the relationship isn't always so good'.

For many years, defence investment in Europe has been significantly smaller than in the USA in procurement (EUR40bn per annum in Europe compared to $100bn in USA) and in research (EUR10bn in Europe compared to $50bn in USA).

Switzerland and Australia, both of which have far more moderate policies than the USA, arrest proportionally larger numbers of people than that country, although Switzerland’s consumption rate is far lower than that of the USA, and Australia’s is virtually the same.

The variation in rates of arrest cannot be explained by the number of police officers per inhabitant. France has far more officers than does the USA or England, but arrests far fewer people than the USA and fewer than the UK for simple possession.
