THE Capitalization IS very Random and i feel that adds To an Aura Of AUTHORITY.
I can't fuckin stand it, it drives me nuts

TRADE is capitalized because is IMPORTANT.
Imagine being President of the EU commission and having to deal with a toddler.I can't stand her and I'm so sorry she has to deal with this. #HugsForUschi

So basically they're paying us 30% more for our products? Sure, why not.
No. They are paying 30% tax to the USA, for anything imported from the EU.
Not that it makes a difference, but I'm boycotting everything I can from the USA.
No more taking at Esso or Jet. No more Prince rolls. No more Coca-Cola. Cancelled Netflix.

Is that supposed to be English?

I can't decide what's the
bestworstbestmost stand-out part, I keep coming back and rereading.You will never be disappointed with The United States of America.
Are you selling us a car?
Therefore, we invite you to participate in the extraordinary Economy of the United States, the Number One Market in the World, by far.
We'd absolutely LOVE to but unfortunately we have to wash our hair. So sorry. Next time, for sure. Love you, kisses!

Ah yes my favorite Country, the European Union.

In ideal world EU should agree on a handful of red state exports on which we'd apply say 10%, let the US exporters explain their president why that's wrong and only then enter the negotiations with the US and whatever then the outcome is GET IT IN THE WRITING with his signature.
Yes, he would then try to blame the "evil EU", but having a written and signed agreement is the only way to prevent this monthly "it's on - and now it's off" charade.
Now unfortunately even if anybody had the balls to actually propose it there is too many actors who would shoot any such proposal down. Be it because of fear for their exports or just to be contrarian.

Pleade do not Retaliate.
What a clown show.

These Tariffs may be modified, upward or downward, depending on our relationship with your Country.
First, what the fuck is that random capitalization?
Second, so your giving us in writing, that these tariffs
maywill be modified at will if you feel so.Third, which country are you talking about? Europe is a continent. EU is a union of independent countries/nations.

In the UN, everyone is addressed like that, including the heads of missions. I wouldn't be surprised if the presidents of the European Commission and European Council also get addressed like this.
-
This may be a stupid question, but... is "Excellency" used in a presidential context?:| I've only ever known it to be used when talking about monarchy and the Pope...
It's mostly used in an international political context. In the UN, it's what everyone uses, so why not?
Generally, ambassadors and leaders of UN missions get the form of address too, so I guess it makes sense, even if it's a bit archaic.

So basically they're paying us 30% more for our products? Sure, why not.
American consumers pay it to the importer, who pays it to the US government, who funnel directly into the pockets of Trump's cronies.
The EU might sell a little less over it, but it probably means that a lot of "To: USA" labels are getting swapped out for "To: China"..

European confederation vibes 🤩

Is the whole thing satire?

I'd have thrown that in the bin as spam if I didn't know better
Frame it and hang it in the toilet.

honestly, if you handed him a fountain pen, i don't think he'd figure out how to use it.
