00"it opens doors for a quantum jump in trade // and investment flows..." (if "flows" is a verb, then there should be a comma before "investment")02br

02br
00"it opens doors for // a quantum jump in trade and investment flows // between us" (here, "flows" is not a verb)02br

0 If there is such a thing (a noun) as trade-flows [my hyphen], or investment-flows, the sentence would be grammmatically correct. The sentence makes no sense with 'flows' as a verb. The subject is 'it', the verb is 'opens'. 0-
