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.
@randahl
Understanding this does not sit well with his self-image. And even if it did, he wouldn’t care, because he wants to take revenge on the EU – and Germany in particular – as king. -

@randahl weren't his tariffs ruled illegal and he is currently issuing them under a different pretext that is somehow time-limited?
A free-trade pact with such a clause would indeed be a neat thing. But giving this to the UK after Brexit doesn't seem wise.

@randahl I heard lately that approx. 60% of Canadians are in favour of joining the EU.
Very unlikely to happen as a member state, but maybe as an associated state.

@randahl I like the idea of a unified Canada, UK, EU,, and Norse trade union, but cluster-B range people like Trump think four-year-old children. He cannot foresee the consequences of his actions to the same degree as mature individuals. His brain says: "if I hit him, I win!" and cannot comprehend the situation where the opponent strikes back.

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.

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 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 US car exports to Europe are low, simply because most of them are way too big for European roads. I'm all for joint measures though.

I think we need a least a dozen muskateers that also focus on supporters of the USA-Russia like Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc. -

@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.

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.
