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.
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 Doofus is doofusing a big fuss. Can’t negociate, only escalate.

@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.
@ij@nerdculture.de
But would be cool. AS Christian Ehrung said in extra3 we could build a wall against Trumpistan.

@randahl That'll be an interesting interpretation of NATO's Article 5.

@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.

@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.
Supongo que estará sufriendo de acidez estomacal otra vez...
