    Yeah. Pretty sure Trump is using tariffs as a way to hit back at globalist labor arbitrageurs -- that's corporate America. If there's one thing they like more than tax mitigation, it's firing Americans and hiring cheap, exploitable labor overseas.

    Trump knows they don't want tariffs, and he's forcing them towards a deal of some kind. The EU has pretty high wages from a global labor standpoint, so no real need to tariff them.

    Well, I'm flat disappointed because I expected to keep this all a secret and just drive all the dimwit left Democrats here, Crazy continually. Kind of like they did with the Russia hoax. Just run it in the ground that these tariffs is going to destroy America. I swear people that work in employment situations and never run a business don't understand jack **** about negotiations.

    btw andy you way too much a news hound...

    Trump always finds a good deal for the USA. => See:"Japan's PM Ishiba: I am willing to elevate Japan's investment in the US to $1 trillion."

    I think Tromp will blow the whole US economy to smithereens.
    It reminds me of Twitter and Tesla, majority now avoid, basically because of musc rat's toxic personality.

    Tromp will do the same thing, everyone around the world will want to avoid exposure to US, Canada's leading the way.

    Throw in some more Gaza bombing and the dye will be set.

    How do you do lasting trade deals with a rug puller?

    European leaders double down on stupid. If President Donald Trump imposes tariffs on Europe, it would have very adverse effects on Europe. After Europe slapped 38% tariffs on Chinese EV cars, China responded by levying 38% tariffs on French Cognac, Luxury items from Italy, etc. The only playbook the Europeans have is to impose tariffs. It is a one trick pony. They do not consider retaliation by the other side. Europe's refusal to buy Russian oil and natural gas (officially) but, continue to buy oil and natural gas from China and India (unofficially, still Russian oil and natural gas). All of this comes from Russia.

    Europe is not forcing any country to come to a trade deal when they do not have leverage. It is the US, Russia and China who has leverage over Europe. Their leaders Macron, Scholz Starmer, etc. are arrogant but, dumb sticks. When they imposed 38% tariffs on Chinese EV cars because their car industry cannot compete, China retaliated imposing 38% on French cognac luxury goods from Italy, etc. and Europeans scurried over to China trying to dissuade China from imposing their retaliatory tariffs. Tariffs only work if you have leverage which Europe does not. Wait till President Donald Trump imposes tariffs on Europe. Europe's shaky economy will be even worst. Think recession and huge job losses in Europe. Can you imagine huge tariffs imposed by China, Russia and the US on Europe? Arrogance goes only so far.
