You don't hit back cars' for cars' tariff when Europe doesn't buy US cars for plenty of other reasons (gas guzzlers too big for comfort) anyhow.
You hit back with tariffs where it hurts. Republicans got that lessons almost every legislature period, when they hurt EU economy for no good reason.
@randahl that should be the default response: reply with at least the same tariffs back.
Alternatively, stop the export of steal completely. We need it to build up our army and the US factories will run dry very soon.
does it matter?
Americans will soon no longer have the money to buy cars, and if they want to continue buying big inefficient cars without gas consumption limits, they could continue, we are sitting by the river and waiting for their corpses to pass through.
Am besten gleich Commonwealth + EU, dann kann die Orange gerne mal Zölle erhöhen.
Und Antworten sollte man mit Ausfuhrzöllen auf alles was die Amis so importieren.
@randahl the EU should put tarrifs on it services, like netflix, AWS, google, disney, Microsoft, META, X etc. And it should apply to all companies that has HQ or is incorporated in the US. These money could be used to make European alternatives.
@randahl it is what we should do indeed. Unite and hit back if needed.
Showing we are serious worked on the Greenland issue…
@randahl That is the point, but the chief adviser to German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil (SPD), Jens Südekum, has advised restraint in response to Trump’s latest tariff threats. “The EU should simply wait and see for now,” Südekum told the Reuters news agency.
It is well known that Trump often suspends or withdraws his grandiose tariff threats just as quickly as he makes them.
— Jens Südekum,
With this position, Trump will put pressure on Canada, the UK, and the EU more and more, because Germany can't take a hard line against Trump's policies."
No me preocupa demasiado. Quiere romper el acuerdo otra vez, y la UE ya tenía medidas preparadas la última vez. Al final, ese naranja cedió. 🙄
Supongo que estará sufriendo de acidez estomacal otra vez...🙃
@randahl
I dunno. He is a pretty ... er ... ah ... intellectually isolated individual.
I don’t think that would happen.
He would still do it.
The way to go after him is to go after American tech. Those billionaires enshittifying the world want chaos.
They think they’ll finalize totalitarian control.
Does anyone outside of America buy their cars? I thought they were still widely viewed as gas guzzling junk. Heavy inefficient expensive to run and unreliable.
@randahl I wonder how many people in the EU actually thought that we could come to an "agreement" with Donald J. Trump and he would abide by it.
Anybody with any sense would keep working on a contingency plan to handle the inevitable moment when he reneges on his promises and stabs you in the back.
The EU has kept on working on new trade agreements. Trump's Tariff Tantrums are increasingly irrelevant.
Oh yes, and remember: Trump's tariffs are actually paid by Americans. 😁
@randahl It helps to take a deep dive into Divide and Conquer Strategy: the aim is to destabilize root infrastructure, to the point of sole dependence on a singular 'salvation' point - oftentimes steeped in mystical ignorance, like a religious, arrogant zealot, preaching monotheistic investment into utter collapse.
The 'Third Reich' was a similar cult, that the ignorant, desperate masses - innocent or otherwise - eventually caved into.
At root; the #TechBros and #FossilFuels industries, are the puppetmasters today. They must be replaced by ethical root infrastructure scientists, or with the acceleration of the #ClimateCrisis, we'll be facing one of the greatest collapses in history.
@randahl That'll be an interesting interpretation of NATO's Article 5.
@randahl Doofus is doofusing a big fuss. Can’t negociate, only escalate.
