    EU exports to the US are as big as China. And that’s not including Norway and Switzerland.

    Also, the EU imports twice as much as China, the incredibly valuable US tech sector is heavily dependent on the EU.

    The US is screwed if they keep pissing off Europe like this.

    Even if you capitulate, there is a high chance he’ll announce new arbitrary tariffs for you the very next moment. His word is worth less than the shit stains in his diaper.

    Congress should be setting terms for these deals. His tariffs are 100% illegal, and is doing irreversible damage to our economic power on the world stage.

      Great point. Announcing tariffs should be painful for the US, not an easy way to get a sweater deal. If the EU accepts an unfair deal under pressure, the US will announce new tariffs again to put further pressure, and further change terms.

      The commission is pushing back on tariffs, as it should. Each time the US’ shameful leader announces upcoming tariffs, the EU executive prepares and publishes a list of US product that will be hit by retaliatory tariffs.

        yup, and with less buyers they’ll have also less incentive to produce that much, giving the opportunity for others to grow
