I believe, this will continue until Canada, the UK, and the EU introduces a musketeer oath (one for all), so when Trump hits one of us with tariffs, we all hit back with the exact same tariffs.
If Trump knew, that his 25 percent car tariffs would immediately result in the same tariffs on US car exports to Canada, UK, and EU, he would not even try.
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.

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.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @randahl people are starting to wake up to that fight. This being the badger state, they're gonna find out what backing one into a corner will get them.

Eric Hagen | Cassville, WI / Town Attorney https://wisconsinwatch.org/2026/04/wisconsin-data-center-rural-town-cassville-rejects-plan-driftless-area-zoning/ Yeah, what a bunch of fucks. With all the chatter about civil war breaking out over this that or the other thing, I tell you what, Wisconsin's got a shot at first peg on the map. The last thing a landowner wants to hear is some slick telling them how much their town stands to gain from a giant tumor sucking the life out of it while he stuffs his pockets with cash. "'This is the Driftless area for Christ’s sakes,' said John Hawn, who retired to the area several years ago." Right?

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.

@Catha Yes, maybe a conditional membership - as long as they behave, they can stay, otherwise they are out

@GhostOnTheHalfShell Going after American Big Tech would kill several birds with one stone, I'm all for it.

@randahl
How would that work? It's not like there's a lot of people here who want to drive American garbage with less forward view than an M1 Abrams tank, that takes up three or four parking spots, breaks down constantly, and every time you approach a gas station, they switch the price sign to display "sold out".@randahl
Also, aren't these tariffs exactly because we refuse to buy their garbage? -

@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."

@randahl do we have recent numbers on US car imports, and does that include European manufacturers with factories in USA?
My impression there are very few US cars on EU roads.
There's the types that feel driving a Dodge Ram or F150 is Ok, but other than that?(I am very much in favor of some tit-for-tat, but maybe cars isn't the right example)

@randahl it is what we should do indeed. Unite and hit back if needed.

@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.

I believe it was US President Theodore Roosevelt who said: "America should speak softly, but carry a big stick"...
The big stick, these days, is in the hands of Europe and others, as European countries collectively have $3.1 trillion of US Treasury bonds. Roughly 30% of the total US bonds in circulation.
The "speak softly" part should be to let it know, at the highest levels, that Europe will soon start selling those US bonds, if the current President does not stop his nonsense.

@randahl What worked better was a boycott. It's a demonstration that trade was essential for American companies, and that they cannot exist without the help of other nations.
It might be a coincidence that Florida and Nevada both voted for Trump, but they're also both suffering frok lack of tourism.
American alcohol was also impacted, and it was to a degree where the boycott was called a trade irritant.
