“La fine del secolo americano”: perché le tariffe di Trump faranno male agli Stati Uniti più dell’UE. Le politiche protezionistiche di Trump e la volatilità generale potrebbero trasformare la natura della relazione UE-USA, accelerare la multipolarizzazione e porre fine all’egemonia del dollaro USA, hanno detto gli analisti.

these are good news
America shaped the current ecconomic order so I always find it funny when Trump cries about unfairness. He is just pandering to his voters who know nothing about the world and the deals that USA did before.
It is as if 1930 tariff act didn’t exist

If americans think inflation is bad now just wait until countries around the world stop using the dollar.
I’m beginning to think Trump is planning a trading bloc with the US at the head of the table. The whole reason Trump pulled out of TPP was because the US couldn’t run the whole thing.
And I’m sure he see BRICs as literally the China / Russia counter bloc. The EU is the EU. Its not a growth trading bloc now in reality.
You would have to create a tarif wall to start this. Which Trump has literally done overnight
Strange days indeed
Thank you comrade trump
Its like Brexit….isolation hasnt worked out yet
Beginning of the world democracy century
I see it the same way. He is cutting the branch he’s sitting on. The U.S. economy will decline faster than the elevator in Trump Tower. Trust within the country and abroad will diminish, while Europeans will strengthen ties with China, Canada, and between their own countries.
Fucking others by fucking themselves
Take my analysis for what it is, pulled out of my arse, but I think we are seeing an outdated American hubris in a multipolar world. In short, America still lives in a world where they defeated the USSR and can take over the rest of the world. They are full of themselves, numbah one and all that crap, problem is China is about as big as them now, EU is a serious contender along with India and the rest of the world no longer needs them.
We are witnessing the collapse of an empire in real time and they did it to themselves.
Having tariffs is OK – people will invest into domestic manufacture.
Not having tariffs is OK – benefiting of global trade and economy of scale.
Having unpredictable tariffs is not OK – people are not very happy with unpredictable expense planning. For low-margin industries, it is just a blocker.
Dollar will hyper-inflate either way. US national debt is unsustainable, while expansion of BRICS makes it clear that USD won’t last as world currency.
People can bitch at Republicans all they want, but the writing was on the wall in 2022 (when Russia didn’t implode, and Third World ignored the drama): Pax Americana is coming to an end.
The only question now is how hard US will crash. This is the whole point of “tariffs”: to soften the blow by preemptively incentivizing domestic production via self-embargo.
Or this could be copium and America booms. We don’t know. America is the biggest market. They spend more, and take more money risks than Europeans. Hell, so many businesses in Europe need their business to survive.
Their culture is about money, it’s not the same as us here in Europe. Honestly, I don’t see the American people failing so much in the long term. Even Europe pulled itself up after WW2, not other nations in Asia or Africa.
I think you would be a fool to think the USA will fall.
A lot of countries are trying to unseat the dollar as the world currency. No one put any stock into Ever happening. I think some people can now see that world…..
It’s remarkable what Yrump has accomplished so far. It’s like missing in billiards, richocheting off an old lady’s head, smashing a pitcher on the bar and breaking the juke box in a single shot.
I thought all of this was completely priced in by the US government Just like China invading Taiwan at a most inopportune moment, when the US is invading Greenland or some shit.
The end of the American century is quite an accurate term to describe the situation. The policies of Washington have not only alienated Europe, but have now driven Seoul, Tokyo, and Beijing closer to each other — ironic considering the fact that Trump has declared putting greater emphasis on the Pacific region. Trump is repelling his own allies in the area due to his unpredictable, volatile policies.
As a ☭, seeing the American Empire crumble from within live before our eyes, is glorious.
The EU will suffer just as much as US if they choose to fight on all fronts, as in hostility toward Asian companies.
i think there is a lesson to be learnt here from america’s demise – never ever let your population become too stupid.
Problem is, in Europe we have relied on the US led world order for our stability and growth. If the EU is to survive and thrive in a multipolar world, we need leaders which can actually work together for our common good.
Too many times have we seen a fractured EU, which can be used and exploited by external parties like Russia. I honestly doubt our politicians are up for the task, but they are all we have.
Well the main reason is that the US is going it alone. They want to produce everything that they need. Trump said himself that they don’t need anything from anyone else. They will have their own economy and the rest of us will cotinue trading in restructured Global economy. But what they don’t realize is this…that we’re not going to by buying any of their shit anymore! All I can say is good luck with that.
The biggest hammer that will bring the US to the negotiating table is a cratering US stock market. China announcing their counter tariffs at 6 am during the US pre-market was a stroke of brilliance. The US stock market immediately began tanking in pre market and US policy makers were literally asleep and the market cratered the rest of the day. The EU has to pile on now and announce their counter tariffs and a steep digital services tax Monday 6 am US time and get the US stock market tanking to continue. Don’t give the US markets a break and let the dip buyers stabilize the market the EU has to act quick a blood red stock market is what will get the US to the negotiating table.
Everything comes to an end. Now let’s see who comes to the forefront. Will it be the EU or China? 🤔
The biggest hindrance to the EU is itself and internal strife. 😞 Hopefully the EU cenents relationships with Japan, South Korea and other countries in Asia. Otherwise……….
Gee, who could’ve seen this coming…
Yeah, well the rest of the world sure as fuck didn’t ask to be taken hostage in Trumps tariff kink play, so it’s a little hard to be sympathetic
(Disclaimer: there are mil of americans who absolutely did not ask or deserve this either ofc)
“Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last” – Winston Churchill: so all that needs to happen is that enough countries will stand up and fight and it’s over as quickly as it started
One Bric at at a time. Thank you!
The shameful thing is, he won’t live long enough to see all the destruction he has caused
If the U.S. dollar loses reserve currency status than the U.S. is screwed.
Is this what greatness looks like?
If tariffs hurt US more, let’s switch. US charge Europe goods 20%, and Europe charge 0% on American goods
They are not “protectionist” policies. They are isolationist and bullying.
It’s not about who it hurts more, it’s about reduction of reliance on China during increasing tensions between the two countries. Shit is going probably to [pop off soon](https://www.airuniversity.af.edu/JIPA/Display/Article/3371474/the-ambitious-dragon-beijings-calculus-for-invading-taiwan-by-2030/) and America needs to start producing its own shit before then, or things will be worse than a tariff depression. Yes, it should have been done a decade ago, but it’s better late than never.
The overall GDP of the EU is similar to US.
They don’t need you as much as you think.
It sad, countries with differences histories, cultures and languages in the EU cooperate together more than US states.
Its sad. The EU has built rail that go across borders.
I can take a high speed train from Barcelona to Paris.
Then Paris to Milan.
There are rivalries, but not the actual political hate in the US between blue and red states.
The US model pits them against each other.
The EU gives me hope. The EU congress plans for a future for the betterment of its citizens. The US only for the betterment of billionaires. The US gives you something else …
