      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...

        So basically they're paying us 30% more for our products? Sure, why not.

              That‘s not how tariffs work. This is basically a EU-tax that american importers need to pay.

                They need to stop pussy-footing around with Trump.

                He says 30, they need to reciprocate with 60 percent, and will back down to 20 when he cancels the 30.

                Make it permanently harmful to threaten this bullshit.

                          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.

                                  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.

                                      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 may will 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.

                                          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.
