Trump vows to slap 25% tariffs on EU and claims bloc was ‘formed to screw US’

Not really, that is what "being more competitive" actually means. Using leverage to secure the best deal possible.
-
Capitalism-lover hates competition. Interesting.
-
It's literally all explained for the whole line in a chart on half of a single page. What are you even talking about? It's broken down by data speeds and charging wattage. How much simpler can you get?

Capitalism strives to make money. Competition means profit margins shrink. So yes capitalists are against competition.
That is one of the many reasons listening to companies is not good economic planning for countries.

Do you really think Krasnov cares now that he is king?

2025 - 1776 = 249
80 x 4 = 320
Way closer than 80 years.

Based on an overwhelming amount of economic studies of tariffs in the last 100 years, the EU should ignore it. Why enact tariffs on American goods and make life more expensive for Europeans? Studies show EU businesses will raise prices accordingly. The citizens will be worse off.
However, based on our knowledge of how politicians act, they'll take the bait and retaliate, thus making things more expensive for EU citizens.

Canada has higher standards, but not as high as they should be. To be clear, the food we sell locally will not necessarily meet EU standards (but most probably would anyway), but the food we sell to you must meet EU standards.
Also, we love visitors to Canada. Toutes mes excuses, le français Québécois est très différent du français parlé en Europe.
I hope you do visit.

Maybe not "do nothing" but I like the remove certain products from shelves. Like stop the sale of American alcohol from shelves.
-
Slap 100% tariffs on the bloc of united states, as a courtesy.

I said 80 plus years. US hegemony also didnt start really taking off until after WW2. Before that they mostly focused on native genocide and being horrible to the Mexicans.

Special K if Elon is any indication
-
Yes, because the initial tarriff talks went over so well...

I remember John Kerry's election in 2004 was thwarted due in part to the perception that he was flip-flopping around a lot of issues. Trump is constantly making an absolute fool of himself by constantly backing away from shit he said he was going to do.

After I sent this, I saw a clip about it. It looks like he did suggest it was all on April 2 in some interview. If he had it wrong, was deliberately being confusing or what is unclear, but it hardly matters.
We'll see what happens then, basically. Either way, we should be getting the hell away from American dependence.

Plot twist, it wasn't forgotten. The person who wants the EU destroyed the most is probably Putin.... Followed 2nd by huge corporations/monopolies.
