      It would have been ridiculous to think this a decade ago, but if Trump gets a second term, China might actually be the better diplomatic and trade partner for the EU…

    The panic should be on the U.S. side of the Atlantic. Because that would crash our economy.

    So uh… this is how he reacts when Bloomberg specifically calls him out on his bullshit in an interview?

    Fascinating. He’s going to turn off all the big money donors with this shit. He’s essentially proposing to crater the US (and by extension, the world) economy.

    A UK rag riffing on relations between the US and EU. There’s nothing for the EU to panic at.

    This is just rage bait; ignore.

      That’s kinda misleading because those are all commodities, at least broadly speaking. You can get that stuff anywhere.

      The actual nuclear option is denying the yanks all those products that hidden champions produce, that you can’t get anywhere else, where the situation is very one-sided.

      Last time around though it sufficed to do targeted sanctions, seemingly nonsensical stuff like motor cycles and peanut products. See you have a look at where Trump’s backers have their electoral districts, what they produce and let’s just say Harley-Davidson still hasn’t recovered and the peanut butter I buy in the supermarket down the street is still from the Netherlands. They switched suppliers back in the days and apparently saw no reason to switch back.
