In response to the imposition of new, unjustified US tariffs on EU steel and aluminium imports, the Commission has launched swift and proportionate countermeasures on US imports into the EU.
it’s gonna be a long four years isn’t it
Four years? The trumpism can survive Donald Trump, if it is what you are referring to.
I’m not certain if it can - at least not if Donald Jr is expected to carry the torch.
I would like to see the cheeto king’s face when he realized his negitatiating tactics won’t work on leaders who actually now how shit works.
Unfortunately, what I suspect will happen is some thing along the lines of:
- US imposes tariffs on EU
- EU responds with tariffs on kind
- trump says the EU are being unfair and increases tariffs
- EU increase tariffs in response
- Days later, trump claims some sort of negotiated agreement and cancels tariff increase
- EU cancels their tariff increase
- trump claims is is a jeenious! as he got the EU to drop those horrible, evil, tariffs.
We might get the condensed version without the increase steps, but the general shape of his process seems to be becoming clear.
The EU should keep the tariffs, even if the US cancels them. How the fuck can we trust him up to not do it again? The orange turd changes policy multiple times a day, can’t trust him at all!
