    We should all sell our US bonds, 10% of them, and then repeat for any further tarrifs.

    Of those states, all but the UK and Norway are EU member states and Norway is a member of the EEA, so its practically impossible to single them out with tariffs. Trump should really understand this by now, as it isn’t the first time he tries to single out EU/EEA members with his tariffs.

      Yes. Abusers can’t go after stronger opponents so they hurt those without the power to harm him. It’s basically his entire political strategy at this point.

      I’d call it malice towards his constituents, but I’m still not convinced he actually understands how tariffs work.

        I mean… They might somewhat hurt us, too.

        Say we send product X and charge $10 and another country`s product charges $10.50. When there’s a 10% tax, we now need to charge $11 and might lose sales. But the question is whether 10% is enough of a deterrent (and whether there are viable alternatives from other countries for the US)

          All true, but you know: The US puts tariffs on everyone, everyone else “only” has to deal with the US. We even just made a new trade deal with half of South America. That has to be worth something, if we have to cut off the US?! Well, in practice it is now complicated because our politicians are a bit slow to recognize that the US might not be the strong partner anymore, that we had for the last 80 years. But even they will get there eventually, I hope

      Dude, he convinced half our country that tariffs were going to make us all wealthy despite the fact that anybody with a 5th grade education can look up the definition of a tariff and know better.

      Of fucking course he is.

    These are the ramblings of a lunatic.

    Why is it that the US must have Greenland if China and Russia are eyeing it? It’s in NATO care right now. If the US would have it, it would be in NATO care. If China and/or Russia came for it, surely the NATO countries (including Greenland, Denmark, or any of the other countries currently positioned there) wouldn’t stop the US from helping out to defend it. What’s the real point in transferring ownership? It’s just a load of shit you can smell from far away.

    A threat to world peace lol. A threat to the survival of our planet lol.

    Sure Trumpey boy. Keep talking out of the holes in your frontotemporal dementia.

      Honestly the US should be kicked out of NATO, and banned from rejoining unless they agree to pay the bloc every time they threaten to invade their allies or something.

        That would indeed seem appropriate.

        Surely it would/should be against the rules of NATO for a member to attack one of the other members. I feel like that’s the entire fucking point of the organization.

    Trump doesn’t honor any agreement he signs, why even bother with trade agreements with USA anymore.

    China atleast is as consistent as you could ever ask for. If both nations attack their own citizens and limit free speech then why even bother with America anymore. I would trust China far more than America currently.

      That’s a bad take IMO, North Korea can be as stable as you want, it’s not a country I’d “trust”.

      But I see why we’ll continue commerce with china.

      Well in the short term yes. Americans pay the tariifs , yet it does hurt the World Economy and European exports too.

      In the medium/ long run smart people decouple economically, and take their business elsewhere. Like EU w / Canada, Australia, Mercosur, Asia, Japan etc. And that’s when it will really hurt the USA.

        It hurts EU exports only to the extent where the US can subsidize EU imports with something else. For example you can only get Ozempic from Denmark so that’s just a 10% tax on Ozempic because it’s going to be imported regardless.

          You can get tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) from Eli Lilly & Co; which is a combined GLP-1- and GIP-agonist, and is slightly more efficacious than semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) for weight loss. The main reasons to choose semaglutide over tirzepatide is if the patient has established cardiovascular disease without diabetes, because there is evidence for it reducing the risk of major cardiovascular events in that population; or if the patient really prefers a pill to an injectable.

          The point being… there are alternatives to Ozempic in the US by American companies. I also think you mean “substitute”, not “subsidize”.

    That would be a good opportunity to throw the EU-US trade deal negotiated last year into the dustbin, since Trump has already violated it with the tariffs and no one in the EU was happy with it anyway. They only accepted it at the time because they were afraid of the U.S. ceasing to support Ukraine otherwise. Well, the U.S. doesn’t support Ukraine anymore anyway.

    It’s time for the EU to drop the anti-circumvention laws pushed onto them (and other countries) through trade deals long ago. It’ll enable a true right to repair, as well as resilience against foreign influence by being able to inspect and replace firmware and software.

    While they’re at it, maybe reduce copyright after death too.

    These countries should wear this badge with honour.

    According to some rumours , could be that the European Parliament won’t rectify the EU-USA Trade deal for now, if there is sufficient momentum (i.e outrage). Wondering how that’s developing.

    I have something of a game going on where every time the US peeves me off, I delete something that profits them.

    Trump threatens Greenland? I delete Deviantart

    Trump threatens Canada? I delete Reddit

    The ICE shooting? I delete Instagram

    After hearing about this I just deleted Brave Mobile and switched to Vivaldi. If it stays this consistent I’m going to have to save up for an Ubuntu Touch phone.
