As the Trump tariffs isolate the US further, EU and India strikes “The mother of all deals”, which removes tariffs on 90 percent of all products. This is expected to increase the trade substantially and leverage the production capacity in India, while opening up India further to EU exports.

So Trump adds tariffs, US consumers pay more and import less, and then EU consumers take over and get an even lower price on Indian goods.

How on earth is that “America first”?

@randahl As long as it’s not seen as reward for doing business with Russia while Europe has sanctions against them.

@randahl Doesn't make sense through that lense, but it *does* make sense if you see Putin Xi and Trump actively working to create the 1984 multi-polar world.

The first step is to utterly destroy america as an international entity. We have to be turned into a pariah, so that we're "forced" to use our military, which then provides all the cover putin and xi need.

@randahl as an Indian I couldn't be happier. By the way guys, you should know that Indian drugs are cheap, like cheap cheap, like cheaper than Sri Lanka or Pakistan cheap.

Hope it helps you out there.

@randahl lets get a deal with AU too, one which lets the #Africans to benefit from the trade a bit more than we would, it's time we share a bit of our wealth with them.
