Adding to that, it’s only laying the ground work for a deal. It will have to be approved by all member states (which I doubt will happen in its current state) and months and years will pass until the lawsuits and debates are over. Who even knows what the US government will look like at this point. Yes, it may be bad optics right now, but I feel like a lot of people assume this is a done deal and not just regular politics.
The deal is EU spends more money buying from the us (rather than using the free maket), and the us puts 15% tariffs on most, and 50% on some.
To me that’s a one sided deal that is explained by “it could have been worse“. Maybe it could, but maybe sending trump home with no deal and a promise of retaliation could have made for a real negotiation.
He is literally doing the same thing he explains in his book. The only way to counter is to do the same.
Nah, just puff stuff to make him feel good. Mostly we’re buying more energy from the US which, frankly, we need.
No one wants a trade war. It will just hurt us all.

The way to counter is remove the US from the market.
