Trump vows to slap 25% tariffs on EU and claims bloc was ‘formed to screw US’
-
We're trying!
-
As an American, I agree. They should.
-
Ok so to recap: stuff made in Mexico? Tariffs! Stuff made in Canada? Tariffs! Stuff made in the EU? Tariffs! Stuff made in China? Tariffs!
Is he jealous of the European 20-25% VAT?
Please EU, don't retaliate on this. If the US put tariffs on everything from everywhere, then it's just masochism and we should let them enjoy the suffering
-
He's not completely wrong. One of the benefits EU provides is better bargaining power for its members against countries like the US.
Sanctions or tariffs on any individual EU country would likely lead to collective response.
-
Do it you pussy! Come on! DO IT!
-
And with a tarrif, shows who is screwing who.
-
He already blinked on the Canada tariffs. Put it off another month. We didn't even pretend to do anything to appease him this time.
-
We already have a good deal. CETA just need to be taken advantage of
-
Nah, do retaliate. Because the only thing the morons over here understand is “uh oh, line go down”.
-
Try harder. EU takes longer to make a decision than a sloth on ketamine
-
As an European I don't want to pay extra taxes on American stuff just because their citizens voted someone with dementia as a president
-
Trump pretends to be a victim in everything, so this is nothing new
-
I don't see that he's put it off. He's all over the place about it, as usual, but it's still a possibility.

But then you export less stuff, hurting your economy, while the US still exports just as much to you, so their economy does better. The counter tariffs are to make it less appealing for you to buy, and US exports go down.
In the end, everyone loses, but it needs to hurt them back to make them realize that.

His children who wants to be in the will? Tariff!!!
-
Trump’s tariffs: Swinging a 25% hammer while shouting, “They started it!”—peak trade war theatrics.
-
Stuff made in China? Tariffs!
Unless China considers it important. If so, they'll just not send it.
-
That's a really bad understanding of how economies work. On all levels.
That's the kind of the way Trump thinks.
-
It seems to be a cornerstone of conservatism.
It's like how PP up in Canada stubs his toe and blames Trudeau for it.
-
Macron fact checked Trump in public, a retaliation was expected. Honestly i am surprised it took that long.
