Summary
Donald Trump has demanded the European Union reduce its $131.3 billion U.S. trade deficit by purchasing more American oil and gas or face tariffs.
Trump’s comments, posted on Truth Social, come as the EU works to phase out Russian energy imports and diversify suppliers.
EU officials, while open to U.S. energy imports, criticized Trump’s approach as transactional, warning of potential retaliation.
Analysts highlight risks of tariffs to inflation and global trade. The EU plans to engage pragmatically but has prepared for heightened U.S. protectionism under Trump’s leadership.
Not voting is an endorsement. He won the popular vote.
Edit: it’s amazing how the majority here proudly announce they didn’t vote in this election. Yall post about how you stayed home and refused to vote and then in the same breath you’re crying about Trump. All this does is publicly advertise your cognitive bankruptcy. Mazel tov on that. Ya get what ya ask for.
I did vote. Not for him. So anything done by the US at this point has nothing to do with me. My decision was nullified.
Stop assuming things without complete information. Maybe I also worded it wrong.
Ain’t democracy grand? We can sit on our asses, put a ballot in a box every 4 years and if it doesn’t go our way we can just pretend nothing that happens is our fault.
Yup, 100%. Same goes for anyone who threw their vote away on a third party candidate.
They’re just as delusional as Trumpers, as they obviously will do anything they can to avoid admitting to themselves that they fucked up and taking responsibility for their actions.
Did you take responsibility for voting to the same two failure of parties before trump was even in politics?
I’ve been begging for RCV since about 2000 when W “won.”
Stupid argument, how said that if they decide the vote they would have voted for Harris? How about blaming the failure of the two party system instead of people?
“It’s not my fault the car drove into the wall! I don’t like the steering wheel, someone else should have installed a better control system!”
Lmao. Great argument. Enjoy your car crash!
What a weird comparison. Keep voting for the same terrible two parties and then complains about your country crashing.
Duopoly is bad. Trump is worse
You are right but people been justifying voting to the two parties and complains about 3rd party voters before trump was in politics and will continue to do so after Trump
