Trump vows to slap 25% tariffs on EU and claims bloc was ‘formed to screw US’
-
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.
-
And hopefully Trump would care? Last time we blacked them out (by accident) all hell broke loose in just a day, but they don't vote Republican.
Come to think of it, we could also cut off land access to Alaska. We're going to let him escalate this first, though.

Pathological liar.

The Columbia flows through Eastern Washington, it's on the other side of a mountain range from Seattle. That's like threatening to cause an avalanche at Banff to hurt Vancouver.
In either case it's the environment that would bear the brunt of the conflict. If you want to hurt Seattle you could just raise our electric bill.
-
Ah, my bad.
Well, IIRC the rest of Washington is a militia-ridden red state, so maybe that's even better.
-
I don't get it. If we do retaliate, the US will have something to gain (back) by removing the tariffs.
I don't know what studies you are referring to (please leave a link) but it seems counterintuitive to not have that bargaining chip to force a quick end to the tarriffs (See US vs Canada 2025, US vs Mexico 2025).
I don't see how one could reasonably measure policies like these through time; of course it's worse in the short term for all involved parties but should resolve the situation faster. If they only measure the time during active tarriffs of course it's better through survivorship bias.

Ofc the EU was created to screw the USA. Good for them. Nobody wants to be subservient to the paper petrol-dollars of a genocidal empire.

TLDR: all our food is genetically manipulated. GMO is simply a method to make better targeted interventions.
